COMPLETE STATEMENT OF HENRY GEORGE’S LAW OF WAGES as given in principle in Book I, Chapter III, “PROGRESS and POVERTY,” and without reference to economic restrictions

Distribution of this gross amount of services among the members is in proportion to the capital administered by each of them, quantitatively and qualitatively considered.
