Adam Smith again considers that the effect of the bounty is to cause a partial degradation in the value of money. "That degradation," says he "in the value of silver, which is the effect of the fertility of the mines, and which operates equally, or very nearly equally, through the greater part of the commercial world, is a matter of very little consequence to any particular country. The consequent rise of all money prices, though it does not make those who receive them really richer, does not make them really poorer. A service of plate becomes really cheaper, and every thing else remains precisely of the same real value as before." This observation is most correct.

白话

亚当·斯密认为,出口补贴会导致货币价值局部下降。他说,银矿丰产导致银价下跌,这种下跌在整个商业世界几乎均匀发生,对任何特定国家都无关紧要。所有货币价格随之上涨,但收款人并不会真正变富或变穷。银盘实际上变便宜了,其他一切的真实价值仍和以前一样。李嘉图评论说,这个观察非常正确。核心是,货币价值普遍下降不影响实际财富,只是名义价格变化。
