The Distribution of Ownership (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Distribution of Ownership
Because a man's wealth wnsisteth not in the abund ance of the things which he hath, because a man's spirit may be inwardly rich inversely to its outward security, he may be deferred to. Yet a man's periphery is usually measured in terms of economic ownership, which is the tangible measure of the social submission to his will. The power that arises from customary or affectionate allegiance may more often than not be found to be the long result of time - the residue of former contributions of goods and services to the ancestral personality. The ancestral periphery may not have been obliterated at the same time that its material contents were lost. At any rate the opposition between pride of birth and pride of wealth is modern.1 Homer's heroes and the heroes of the Nibelun gen Lied are noble and rich. In later Greek literature, pride of birth is identical with pride in seven wealthy ancestors in succession.
