English proto-marginalist economist and critic of the Classical Ricardian School. Bailey's reputation rests chiefly on his anonymous 1825 treatise, A Critical Dissertation, etc., which was written in response to de Quincey's Templars' Dialogue. Bailey pointed out the logical difficulties of both the labor theory of value and Ricardo's "invariable measure". Bailey also called for the generalization of the Ricardian theory of rent to wages. As a result, Bailey promoted a "cost of production" theory of value, which incorporated capital as well as labor. He might also be credited with the introduction of the notion of time-preference, arguing that "we generally prefer a present pleasure or enjoyment to a distant one, not superior to it in other respects." (Bailey, 1825). In response to a critical article in the Westminster Review, Bailey published his 1826 Letter restating his views' (History of Economic Thought, online, accessed 16th May 2022).

In 1627 he was discovered to have been playing the money market by trading English silver for French gold but, as his actions were profitable to the king, he was released from prison on the condition of paying £2000 to the Crown as its share of the profit. Following his release, Violet found a new role inspecting the trade in coins and wire. He was responsible for marking wire as authentic but discovered that like coins (the best supplies being bought up by unscrupulous traders) a lot of inferior or counterfeit metal was being traded. He prosecuted several traders, which made him very unpopular among fellow merchants. Violet was a royalist and, due to his unpopular activities in the 1630s, spent much of the Civil War imprisoned in the Tower, having his estates and wealth confiscated by the authorities of the City of London. During this time, Violet began to write down his ideas on trade, arguing for equal treatment of merchants and traders from all nations, the reduction of customs duties and the establishment of free ports across England. This, he hoped, would bring in cheap raw materials and would benefit ordinary workers. After his release from the Tower in 1652, Violet resumed his work inspecting the gold and silver trade. He published several works defending his actions and attacking goldsmiths and traders who he believed were draining England of its wealth by exporting the commodity. This book is one of those treatises, published following the restoration of Charles II, it appeals to the king to recognise the importance of gold and silver in defining the wealth of the nation.
