Inequality Of Individual Wealth The Ordinance Of Providence, And Essential To Civilization: A Sermon (1835)

By Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright

Book Overview

The book ""Inequality of Individual Wealth: The Ordinance of Providence, and Essential to Civilization: A Sermon"" by Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright was originally published in 1835. It is a sermon that discusses the concept of wealth inequality and how it is necessary for the functioning of society.Wainwright argues that wealth inequality is a natural and necessary aspect of human society, ordained by God. He believes that some individuals are naturally more talented and hardworking than others, and therefore deserve to accumulate more wealth. He also argues that the accumulation of wealth by some individuals is necessary for the progress and advancement of society as a whole.The book discusses the importance of individual responsibility and hard work in achieving wealth, and argues that wealth redistribution through government policies is not a solution to poverty. Wainwright believes that individuals should be free to accumulate wealth and use it as they see fit, as long as they do not harm others in the process.Overall, ""Inequality of Individual Wealth: The Ordinance of Providence, and Essential to Civilization: A Sermon"" provides a religious and philosophical justification for the existence of wealth inequality in society. It is a thought-provoking read for those interested in the history of economic thought and the role of religion in shaping economic ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
