balance Of trade" Is an expression
used by political economists to lndI-
cate the difference between the value

try. This theory Of the balance OF

theory. which considers the possession
Of gold to he the chief object Of trade-
Hence. there rose the belief that ma
tion increases In wealth to the extent
thar the money value OF its exports
exceeds that OF imports.
