ABSTRACT

A new population was born by showing them the expectation of work which would not always be in demand. However, it seems that commercial wealth is but of secondary importance in the economic order, and agricultural wealth, which furnishes subsistence, must grow first. And if sometimes small nations were seen to exist by trade alone, acquiring great wealth, and even great power, without agriculture, and hardly any land, it must be remembered that political divisions which constitute independent nations do not always coincide with economic divisions born from mutual needs. National development always needs to be based on the progress of income; thus, the authors have already stated that all commercial revenues are created by human labor, while to agricultural labor, which is born from the same labor, is given a second revenue born from the labor of the soil.
