An idea from Principles of Political Economy

The hoped-for society is one where “no one is poor, no one desires to be richer, nor has any reason to fear being thrust back by the efforts of others to push themselves forward.” Poor countries still need more output. Rich ones need better sharing, and wild land left alone.

From Principles of Political Economy by John Stuart Mill
