Constant economy

Now we can consider, otherwise no, because this assay is about rules of economy, that are constant, because the human necessities are every time same, thereupon is an economic book is written on 16th century or published the day before yesterday result is same; to this observation we must consider again Thomas Mun(1571-1641), because he describes strategy of exportations, from England, and as I have said he caught from his experience as merchant; in fact he tacitly makes it. Because his strategy is from his job: anyway he said in the his book England's treasure by forraign Trade : “In our exportations we must not only regard our own superfluities, but also we must consider our neighbours necessities, that so upon the wares which that so upon the wares which they cannot want, nor yet be furnished thereof elsewhere…But the superfluity of our commodities which strangers use, and may also have the same from other Nations…”, the comment is it’s rational and logic, (then we have found the American continent, because nobody has explored this land until now), but these words are in 16th century, this is important, and it gives to us motive to reflect about a question, why? I repeat because human necessities are no certainly similar, but same, specular, equal thereupon economy is same. Other step says: “For we have found of late years by good experience, that being able to sell our Cloth cheap in Turkey…”; certainly his experience aforesaid, but today a nation buys a ware where it is cheap, because during 16th century because it is behavior; but today is same, because first interest of government is nation, or should be it, but a nation that must gives to people a ware but it must be cheap, then the cloth of Turkey that has mentioned Mun, during 16th century, I repeat, is suitable, and proof is after in other step: “and the Venetians have lost as much in the utterance of theirs in those country…”, because evidently Venetian cloth was very costly, and again: “ And on the other side a few years past, when by excessive price of wools our cloth was exceeding dear…”, this is reality of Mun book’s and today is same; and :“The State in some occasions may gain most, when private men by their revenues get least”, private citizen last(least) something. These rules and rational methods are economy of 16th century? No it are methods today, then economy and human necessity are same.
