Note 46 — Chapter I · : THE PHYSIOCRATS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
“It is impossible not to recognise the right of property as a divine institution, for it has been ordained that this should be the indirect means of perpetuating the work of creation.” (La Rivière, p. 618.) “The order of society presupposes the existence of a third class in society, namely, the proprietors who make preparation for the work of cultivation and who dispense the net product.” (Quesnay, p. 181.)
