ABSTRACT
The distribution which results from the incomes from labour and property which we have been discussing in the last three chapters is obviously very far from following the rule of equality modified by differences of need. I t is extremely unequal, and its inequalities do not in the least coincide with differences of needamong other instances of this we may note especially the fact that income from work has an inconvenient habit of stopping altogether just when the worker becomes incapacitated and requires expensive tending by nurses and surgeons.
