Compensation Axioms
+ From p. 2
If it were To admitt of the quantity of a mans
fortune To establish the circumstance of fortune among the as a
circumstances constitutive of a title [in a dispute
between two men concerning [the possession of] are
of property value would be that is so as to adjudge
the thing in competition always to the poorer would
be in effect to establish a community of goods and abolish property altogether.
Thereby This would be more adverse to utility than any
other mode of settling that could be devised.
A man could never hope to enjoy any article any longer
than till a man poorer than himself should come
to claim it from him. As no man could at this
rate be sure of enjoying any thing for two mo-
-ments together no man would give himnself
the trouble to improve any thing by his labour.
All men would live from hand to mouth: so that this
rule instead of would no otherwise favour the poor
than by reducing all men to poverty in the
. [establishing and perpetuating [their] poverty.]
rendering their making poverty extreme and universal.
In A thing therefore can not with any ad-
-vantage be taken from a richer man to give to
a poorer, merely on the ground of that difference
intheir circumstances. But if on any account
it becomes necessary that any things to a certain
value should be taken away from one or others
or both of them, it is right that this newly ac-
-cruing burthen should be as them in propor-
-tion to their fortunes. For this + will not destroy the title
+arrangement will
leave in possession of
the two taken together
more happiness than any
other arrangement that
could be developed, and
of either of them to the residue of their fortunes.
