Synopsis
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Principles of the Distribution of Wealth Most Conducive to Human Happiness: Applied to the Newly Proposed System, Voluntary Equality of Wealth
Such are the results of the present system upon the three great classes into which Society is usually divided. TO call it Society, indeed, is a solecism, for instead of its bang an union of many for one general interest, his a grotesque assemblage seeking to take advantage of each others Ignorance and helplessness. It is not a wise and scientific association, but a rude unskilful agglomeration; - not a number of atoms brought together as by strong chemical afiinities, and forming a regular and harmonious body, but a number of repulsive particles held together as by mechanical force, and forming an amorphous and dis cordant body -in fine, in the nervous language Of a popular writer of the day, it is not order, but anarchy, - plus a street constable.
But why should such a condition be endured? Shall it be said that, with all our knowledge and experience, a rational system of society, in which the interests and happiness of all shall be carefully combined, is yet un attainable? US there any lack of means - supposing them properly organised - to produce a superabundance Of wealth - that is, the necessaries, comforts, and luxuries of life - for all, with ample leisure for the highest cultivation of the intellectual faculties and moral qualitie the acquisition of the most refined habits and tastes NO one who has any pretensions to knowledge on the subject.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of a timeless debate: how should wealth be distributed in a society for maximum happiness? It stands as a counterpoint to the traditional economic thought of its time, which often prioritised wealth accumulation over equitable distribution. The author challenges the prevailing notion that inequality is a necessary evil for economic progress. Instead, they argue for a system of "voluntary equality", where cooperation, rather than competition, drives production and ensures a fairer distribution of resources. The book explores the ethical, economic, and political implications of such a system, contrasting it with the pitfalls of forced inequality and unrestrained competition. Through a comprehensive analysis of human nature and societal structures, the author presents a vision of a society where knowledge is widely disseminated, education is universal, and individuals work together for the collective good. The book tackles potential challenges to this utopian vision, addressing concerns about individual motivation, resource allocation, and the feasibility of large-scale cooperation. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling argument for rethinking our assumptions about wealth distribution and its impact on human well-being. It invites us to consider a path towards a more just and equitable society, where prosperity is shared and happiness is accessible to all.
