Сторінка 7 - Why, in spite of increase in productive power, do wages tend to a minimum which will give but a bare living?
Сторінка 21 - But such a plan, though perfectly feasible, does not seem to me the best. Or rather I propose to accomplish the same thing in a simpler, easier, and quieter way, than that of formally confiscating all the land and formally letting it out to the highest bidders. To do that would involve a needless shock to present customs and habits of thought — which is to be avoided.
Сторінка 20 - To see human beings in the most abject, the most helpless and hopeless condition, you must go, not to the unfenced prairies and the log cabins of new clearings in the backwoods, where man single-handed is commencing the struggle with nature, and land is yet worth nothing, but to the great cities, where the ownership of a little patch of ground is a fortune.
Сторінка 22 - I do not propose either to purchase or to confiscate private property in land. The first would be unjust; the second, needless.

Сторінка 41 - Suppose £10 paid for a piece of land for a year, and suppose the occupier said, let me have it for ten years, and I will give you £20 a year, ought not the State to accept the offer ? Then suppose he said, give it me for ever and I will pay £30 a year ? Again, ought not the State to agree ? He would then be that hateful creature a land-owner, subject to a rent-charge. Now suppose the State wanted to do work and had to borrow money, and suppose he offered to give for the redemption of the rent-charge...
Сторінка 5 - ... there is nowhere any improvement which can be credited to increased productive power. I mean that the tendency of what we call material progress is in nowise to improve the condition of the lowest class in the essentials of healthy, happy human life.
Сторінка 22 - The Almighty, who created the earth for man and man for the earth, has entailed it upon all the generations of the children of men by a decree written upon the constitution of all things — a decree which no human action can bar and no prescription determine.
