Excerpt from Foundations of Political Economy "England is full of wealth, of multifarious produce, supply for human want in every kind - yet England is dying of inanition. With unabated bounty the land of England blooms and grows; waving with yellow harvests; thick-studded with workshops, industrial implements, with fifteen millions of workers, understood to be the strongest, the cunningest, and the willingest our earth ever had; these men are here, the work they have done, the fruit they have realised is here, abundant, exuberant on every hand of us; and behold some baleful fiat as of Enchantment has gone forth, saying, 'Touch it not, ye master-workers, ye master-idlers;none of you can touch it, no man of you shall be the better for it; this is enchanted fruit.'" - Thomas Carlyle (Past and Present).
