“The institution of private property... is undergoing, at this time, a strain never put on it before.

“The effect of the corporation, under the prevailing policy of the free, go-as-you-please method of organization and management, has been to drive the bulk of our people, other than farmers, out of property ownership; and, if allowed to go on as present, it will keep them out... The paramount problem is not how to stop the growth of property, and the building up of wealth, but how to manage it so that every species of property, like a healthy growing tree will spread its roots deeply and widely in the soil of a popular proprietorship.” PeopleIfsHas BeensProblemPoliticsGrowthWealthEconomyGrowingTreeEffectsPolicyBuildingGoes OnPleaseHealthyRootsOrganizationManagementMethodPropertySpeciesSpreadManageCorporationsSoilLiberalismFarmersOwnershipPrevailingParamountBuilding UpProperty OwnershipGrowing Tree Author:Peter S.
