The first step towards making labour attractive is to get the means of making labour fruitful, the Capital, including the land, machinery, factories, &c. THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS MAKING LABOR ATTRACTIVE IS TO GET THE MEANS OF MAKING LABOUR FRUITFUL THE CAPITAL INCLUDING THE LAND MACHINERY FACTORIES ET
 that the “manufacturer” aims primarily at producing, by means of the labour he has stolen from others, not goods but profits, that is, the “wealth” that is produced over and above the livelihood of his workmen, and the wear and tear of his machinery. Whether that “wealth” is real or sham matters nothing to him. If it sells and yields him a “profit” it is all right. I have said that, owing to there being rich people who have more money than they can spend reasonably, and who therefore buy sham wealth, there is waste on that side; and also that, owing to there being poor people who cannot afford to buy things which are worth making, there is waste on that side. So that the “demand” which the capitalist “supplies” is a false demand. The market in which he sells is “rigged” by the miserable inequalities produced by the robbery of the system of Capital and Wages. It is this system, therefore, which we must be resolute in getting rid of, if we are to attain to happy and useful work for all.
