The Querist by George Berkley 1735
The Querist Containing Several Queries Proposed to the Consideration
of the Public
Part I
Query 1.
Whether there ever was, is, or will be, an industrious nation poor,
or an idle rich?
2. Qu. Whether a people can be called poor, where the common sort
are well fed, clothed, and lodged?
3. Qu. Whether the drift and aim of every wise State should not be,
to encourage industry in its members? And whether those who employ
neither heads nor hands for the common benefit deserve not to be
expelled like drones out of a well-governed State?
4. Qu. Whether the four elements, and man's labour therein, be not
the true source of wealth?
5. Qu. Whether money be not only so far useful, as it stirreth up
industry, enabling men mutually to participate the fruits of each
other's labour?
6. Qu. Whether any other means, equally conducing to excite and
circulate the industry of mankind, may not be as useful as money.
