Note 694 — Chapter I · : THE OPTIMISTS

Dunoyer says: “You may search the literature of association as much as you like, but you will never come across a single intelligent discussion of an equitable means of distribution.” (Liberté du Travail, vol. ii, p. 397.) Further, he asserts that association has damaged social even more than individual morality, because nothing will be considered lawful unless done by society as a whole. It is true that in this case he was speaking chiefly of corporative association, but the condemnation has a wider import.
