1. power
2. money.

or 2.
1. Inequality by power.
True, inequality by
power is to some extent
necessary: sole
remedy, reducing within
the limits prescribed

or 3.
2. By money: True,
the inequality produced
by the abundance
necessary as
a security for subsistence
against
incidental dearth is
necessary. Not so that
superinduced by
factitious hand, which
contributes nothing to
subsistence.

4.
Inequality in moral

By inequality produced
by factitious honor, in
an extravasated shape,

the habit of rendering
useful service in all
shapes in a man's power.
