Question on the differential ownership of the means of production, the law of
value and the logical priority of the level of production over that of distribution:
Author, text and year, please:
"... wheresoever possessions be private, where money beareth all the stroke,
it is hard and almost impossible that there the public weal may justly be
governed and prosperously flourish ... the rich men be covetous, crafty, and
unprofitable: on the other part, the poor be lowly, simple, and by their daily
labour more profitable to the common wealth than to themselves ... no equal
and just distribution of things can be made; nor that perfect wealth shall
ever be among men; unless this property be exiled and banished."
Cheers,
Rob
