+# Agricultural Systems of Political Economy
+
+## Definition
+
+A school of economic thought that represents the produce of land as either the sole or principal source of the revenue and wealth of every country, contrasting with mercantile systems that emphasize manufacturing and trade.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book IV, Chapter 9
+
+## Context
+
+This chapter introduces and critiques the agricultural systems of political economy, which were primarily developed by French philosophers as a response to Colbert's mercantile policies. Smith examines how these systems emerged as a reaction to the overvaluation of urban industry and the undervaluation of agricultural production in Colbert's approach.

+# Barren or Unproductive Class
+
+## Definition
+
+The class of artificers, manufacturers, and merchants who are considered by agricultural systems to be unproductive because their labour only replaces the value of the stock that employs them and their own consumption, without generating any net increase in the annual produce of land and labour.
+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book IV, Chapter 9
+
+## Context
+
+Smith describes how agricultural systems denigrate merchants, artificers, and manufacturers as "barren" or "unproductive" because their work merely continues the existence of capital value without creating new value, contrasting this with the productive class of cultivators who generate surplus produce.

+
+## Source Chapter
+
+Book IV, Chapter 9
+

+
+Smith explains how agricultural systems classify society into three classes, with cultivators being designated as the "productive class" because their labour not only replaces its own value but generates a surplus that increases national wealth, unlike the barren or unproductive class of artificers and manufacturers.
