By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire, are procured by labour; and they may be multiplied, not in one country alone, but in many, almost without any assignable limit, if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them.

  • -- David Ricardo 大卫·里卡多

到目前为止,欲望所追求的绝大部分商品都是通过劳动获得的;而且,如果我们愿意付出获得这些权利所必需的劳动,这些权利可以成倍地增加,不仅在一个国家,而且在许多国家,几乎没有任何可转让的限制。
