ABSTRACT

To state it as simply and as cursorily as possible, we have two problems to solve with respect to social wealth: firstly, to indicate the mode of production for an abundant social wealth, and, secondly, to indicate a convenient manner for its division among men in society. This is what we could call in more elevated terms, the theory of production and the theory of distribution of wealth; the theory of agricultural, industrial, commercial and financial production of wealth, and the theory of distribution of wealth by means of property and taxes among individuals and the State. Scientifically the social question will cease to exist once these two problems have been solved and these two theories have been developed.
