Wages, Profits, and Rent

On wages: masters combine tacitly to keep wages down; workers' combinations are loud but masters' are silent and effective. 'No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.'

On rent: landlords 'love to reap where they never sowed.'

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public.
