Quote #3 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Poverty and Unemployment
“But in a country where population is already too abundant, the dismissal of more than half the field-laborers is a serious misfortune, particularly at a time when a similar improvement in machinery causes the dismissal of more than half the manufacturing population of towns. The nation is nothing else but the union of all the individuals who compose it, and the progress of its wealth is illusory, when obtained at the price of general wretchedness and morality.”
