This holds good even more for nations than for individuals. Germany was devastated in every century by pestilence, famine or internal and external wars; yet each time it saved a great deal of its creative power and thus rapidly attained prosperity again-whilst rich and powerful Spain, in full possession of internal peace, yet despot- and cleric-ridden, sank lower and lower in poverty and destitution".

Mill, Principles of Political Economy , New York1893 (5th ed. ), Vol. II , p. 336 : "I cannot, therefore, regard the stationary state of capital and wealth with the unaffected aversion so generally manifested towards it by political economists of the old school. I am inclined to believe that it would be, on the whole, a very considerable improvement on our present condition. I confess I am not charmed with the ideal of life held out by those who think that the normal state of human beings is that of struggling to get on; that the trampling, crushing, elbowing, and treading on each other's heels, which form the existing type of social life, are the most desirable lot of human kind, or anything but the disagreeable symptoms of one of the phases of industrial progress".
