“If the Gross National Product of the United Kingdom grew by, say, five per cent . . . could we then use all or most of this money, this additional wealth. to fulfil our nation’s aspirations? Assuredly not; for under private ownership every bit of wealth, as it arises, is immediately and automatically privately appropriated.” — Ernst F. Schumacher
