Understand that that _must_ be the result of the possession of _riches_. UNDERSTAND THAT THAT MUST BE THE RESULT OF THE POSSESSION OF RICHES
ulate capital, or the stored-up labour of past generations, and neither use it himself nor allow others to use it: he may, and often he does, engross the first necessity of labour, land, and neither use it himself or allow any one else to use it; and though it is clear that in each case he is injuring the community, the law is sternly on his side. In any case a rich man accumulates property, not for his own use, but in order that he may evade with impunity the law of Nature which bids man labour for his livelihood, and also that he may enable his children to do the same, that he and they may belong to the upper or useless class: it is not wealth that he accumulates, well-being, well-doing, bodily and mental; he soon comes to the end of his real needs in that respect, even when they are most exacting: it is power over others, what our forefathers called _riches_, that he collects; power (as we have seen) to force other people to live for his advantage poorer lives than they should live. Y AND NOT SELDOM HE DOES ACCUMULATE CAPITAL OR THE STORED UP LABOR OF PAST GENERATIONS AND NEITHER USE IT HIMSELF NOR ALLOW OTHERS TO USE IT HE MAY AND OFTEN HE DOES ENGROSS THE FIRST NECESSITY OF LABOUR LAND AND NEITHER USE IT HIMSELF OR ALLOW ANY ONE ELSE TO USE IT AND THOUGH IT IS CLEAR THAT IN EACH CASE HE IS INJURING THE COMMUNITY THE LAW IS STERNLY ON HIS SIDE IN ANY CASE A RICH MAN ACCUMULATES PROPERTY NOT FOR HIS OWN USE BUT IN ORDER THAT HE MAY EVADE WITH IMPUNITY THE LAW OF NATURE WHICH BIDS MAN LABOUR FOR HIS LIVELIHOOD AND ALSO THAT HE MAY ENABLE HIS CHILDREN TO DO THE SAME THAT HE AND THEY MAY BELONG TO THE UPPER OR USELESS CLASS IT IS NOT WEALTH THAT HE ACCUMULATES WELL BEING WELL DOING BODILY AND MENTAL HE SOON COMES TO THE END OF HIS REAL NEEDS IN THAT RESPECT EVEN WHEN THEY ARE MOST EXACTING IT IS POWER OVER OTHERS WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS CALLED RICHES THAT HE COLLECTS POWER AS WE HAVE SEEN TO FORCE OTHER PEOPLE TO LIVE FOR HIS ADVANTAGE POORER LIVES THAN THEY SHOULD LIVE
