Excerpt from On Land Concentration and Irresponsibility of Political Power, as Causing the Anomaly of a Widespread State of Want by the Side of the Vast Supplies of Nature

In considering the prevalence of distress among mankind, little reflection is required for arriving at the fact that the evil is not attributable in its full extent, either to the natural inequality of men at birth, or to the increase and force that inequality may have acquired by development of the faculties and legitimate circumstances occurring in a state of society; and it becomes evident that it is still less the consequence of any vice inherent to the nature of the sufferers, which can be no worse than that of others, or the effect of failure in natural supplies, which at the utmost would only be partial and local in any case. The instances of gross imperfection or bad fortune from such circumstances, would not account for more than exceptional destitution, to be easily relieved by voluntary aid.
