# Revenue Constituting Profit and Rent
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
That portion of annual produce which forms revenue either as profit of stock
|
|
or rent of land. This revenue may maintain either productive or unproductive
|
|
hands indifferently, unlike capital replacement revenue which maintains only
|
|
productive labour. It represents the surplus after capital renewal.

Book II, Chapter 3

|
## Context
|
|
|
|
The second major division of annual produce, distinguished from capital
|
|
replacement revenue. Smith notes that owners of this revenue often show
|
|
predilection for maintaining unproductive hands, affecting the overall
|
|
productive capacity of society.
