«A mere glance must satisfy every mind that simple profit does not decrease but increase in the progress of society — that is,[113] the same quantity of labour which at any former period produced 100 quarters of wheat, and 100 steam engines, will now produce somewhat more… In fact, also, we find that a much greater number of persons now live in opulence on profit in this country than formerly. It is clear, however, that no labour, no productive power, no ingenuity, and no art, can answer the overwhelming demands of compound interest, But all saving is made from the revenue of the capitalist, so that actually these demands are constantly made, and as constantly the productive power of labour refuses to satisfy them.
