Note 521 — Chapter III · : THE ASSOCIATIVE SOCIALISTS
R. (Robert) Richards translation
“Metallic money is the cause of a great deal of crime, injustice, and want, and it is one of the contributory causes which tend to destroy character and to make life into a pandemonium.
“The secret of profit is to buy cheap and to sell dear in the name of an artificial conception of wealth which neither expands as wealth grows nor contracts as it diminishes.”
