Note 482 — Chapter II · : SAINT-SIMON, THE SAINT-SIMONIANS, AND THE BEGINNINGS OF COLLECTIVISM
R. (Robert) Richards translation
The formula in the third edition of the Doctrine is a little different. “Each one,” it runs there, “ought to be endowed according to his merits and rewarded according to his work.” We know that the first part of the formula refers to the distribution of capital, i.e. to the instruments of labour, while the second refers to individual incomes. The word “classed” was substituted for “endowed” in the second edition.
