Сторінка 142 - A greater number of people cannot, in any given state of civilization, be collectively so well provided for as a smaller The niggardliness of nature, not the injustice of society, is the cause of the penalty attached to over-population. An unjust distribution of wealth does not even aggravate the evil, but, at most, causes it to be somewhat earlier felt.

If the population continued to increase at the same rate, a time would soon arrive when no one would have more...
Сторінка 141 - ... that the reason why the real price of corn is higher and continually rising in countries which are already rich, and still advancing in prosperity and population, is to be found in the necessity of resorting constantly to poorer land - to machines which require a greater expenditure to work them - and which consequently occasion each fresh addition to the raw produce of the country to be purchased at a greater cost - in short, it is to be found in the important truth that corn...

Unless the arts of production were in the same time improved in an almost unexampled degree, the inferior soils which must be resorted to, and the more laborious and scantily remunerative cultivation which must be employed on. the superior soils, to procure food for so much larger a population, would, by an insuperable necessity, render every...
