Description

Excerpt from The Real Democracy: First Essays of the Rota Club Three members of the Rota Club, in these its first Essays, have sought to explain and defend the principle of Property. They have therefore referred that principle to the record of the past, to present fact, and to certain root principles in morals and politics. They believe that the lesson to be learnt from such reference is this: - The characteristic virtue of Property can be retained only in a state where property is possessed by at least so many as a determining majority of the citizens, and by each of these in severalty. Political power, in a nation-state like England, necessarily depends on economic resource. Therefore, although there are other kinds of property, each of them capable of fulfilling a human need, it is for Property in the Means of Production that Englishmen to-day should keep their immediate and most definite concern.
