Example text

Two types of income share arise in such a society: the surplus product or rent for the landowners, who are the sole owners of the national wealth (section 19) and the wages, reduced to subsistence by competition, for those who have no property except for their ability to work (section 6). The extraction of the surplus from the working classes by the proprietors has changed according to the various modes of agricultural production which have been practised (sections 20–8), that is, slavery, bondage to the soil, vassalage, sharecropping and, finally, the leasing of land to farmers who supply their own capital for the cultivation of the land for which they pay a regular and pre-determined money rent.

The second part of the ‘Reflections’ opens with the statement that there is a further way of earning a revenue, which depends neither on work nor on land ownership: this is living off the revenue from money or interest. This requires a discussion of money (section 30), value and exchange (sections 31–48) and a discussion of capital accumulation, the need for capital in all sections of industry and the origin of profit (sections 49–55, 59–60, 62–71). Since this form of property permits the receipt of an income without labour, it has to be distinguished from the other form, land (sections 56–8) and consequently the division of society into classes presented in the first part is modified.
