70. Capitals being as necessary to all undertakings as labour
and industry, the industrious man shares voluntarily the profit
of his enterprize with the owner of the capital who furnishes him
the funds he is in need of.
Since capitals are the indispensable foundation of all
lucrative enterprizes; since with money we can furnish means for
culture, establish manufactures, and raise a commerce, the
profits of which being accumulated and frugally laid up, will
become a new capital: since, in a word, money is the principal
means to beget money; those who with industry and the love of
labour are destitute of capital, and have not sufficient for the
undertaking they wish to embark in, have no difficulty in
resolving to give up to the proprietors of such capital or money,
who are willing to trust them, a portion of the profits which
they are in expectation of gaining, over and above their
advances.
