# Modes of Expense Affecting Public Opulence
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The distinction between spending revenue on immediately consumable items
|
||||
versus durable commodities, where the latter contributes more to public
|
||||
opulence by providing useful goods to inferior ranks, encouraging frugality,
|
||||
and maintaining more productive hands than extravagant hospitality.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter

||||
|
||||
Book II, Chapter 3
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith's final analysis showing how different spending patterns affect
|
||||
national wealth, arguing that investment in durable goods creates more
|
||||
lasting economic benefits than consumption of perishable items.
