# Encroachment Upon Capital
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The process by which individuals who spend beyond their income consume their
|
||||
capital stock, perverting funds consecrated to productive employment for
|
||||
maintaining unproductive labour. This diminishes the quantity of labour that
|
||||
adds value to subjects and consequently reduces the real wealth and revenue
|
||||
of the country's inhabitants.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book II, Chapter 3
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith describes how prodigality leads to capital consumption, comparing it to
|
||||
perverting revenues of pious foundations to profane purposes, and showing how
|
||||
this behavior impoverishes both the individual and the country.
