The Gospel of
Wealth and Other Timely Essays.
" .
. . [C]ivilization took
its start from the day when the capable, industrious workman
said to his incompetent and lazy fellow, “If thou dost
not sow, thou shalt not reap,” and thus ended primitive
Communism by separating the drones from the bees. One who
studies this subject will soon be brought face to face with the
conclusion that upon the sacredness of property
civilization itself depends – the right of the laborer to
his hundred dollars in the savings-bank, and equally the
legal right of the millionaire to his millions."1a
SCHUMPETER
"We
might as well urge the destruction of the highest existing type
of man because he failed to reach our ideal as to favor the
destruction of Individualism, Private Property,
the Law of Accumulation of Wealth, and the Law
of Competition; for these are the highest result of
human experience . . . Unequally or unjustly, perhaps,
as these laws sometimes operate, and imperfect as they appear to
the Idealist, they are, nevertheless, like the highest type of
man, the best and most valuable of all that humanity has yet
accomplished."1b

"Reduced
cost of production, under the free play
of competition, insures reduced
prices to the consumer."1c
"Every
attempt to monopolize the manufacture of any staple article
carries within its bosom the seeds of failure."1d
SCHUMPETER
"The
strongest sentiment in man, the real motive which at the
crisis determines his action in international affairs, is
racial. Upon this tree grow the one language, one
religion, one literature, and one law which bind men together and
make them brothers in time of need as against men of other races."1e
