Book I

But there is another type of property acquisition which is especially called wealth acquisition, and justifiably so. It is the reason wealth and 40 property are thought to have no limit. For many people believe that 125^a wealth acquisition is one and the same thing as the kind of property acquisition we have been discussing, because the two are close neighbors. But it is neither the same as the one we discussed nor all that far from it: one of them is natural, whereas the other is not natural, but comes from a sort of experience and craft. ⁵⁷
