They would in this case be obliged, indeed, to exchange a part of their surplus produce, with which they now purchase active and productive stock, for dead stock.

在这种情况下，他们确实有义务用他们现在用于购买活跃和生产性存货的一部分剩余产品来交换死存货。

A part of the dead stock of the society would thus be turned into active stock, and would put into motion a greater quantity of industry than had been employed before.

社会的一部分闲置资产将因此变成活跃的资产，并会启动比以前使用的更多的工业。
