It is like a set of invisible mirrors that surround individuals, households or firms, reflecting back on them the consequences of their acts. The industrious will reap the benefits of their industry; the frugal the consequences of their frugality; the improvident and the profligate likewise. They receive their due, which is to say they experience justice as a matter of routine.” PeopleMatterActionIndividualJusticeEffectsIndustryBlessingBenefitsConsequenceNegativeMirrorsPropertyDuesInvisibleFirmSurroundRoutineHouseholdReflectingReapPrivate PropertyFrugalityIndustriousFrugalReflecting Back Author:Tom Bethell
