The ancient nations employed ( in proportion to the whole population ) infinitely more hands , the work was much harder , each individual possessed much more land , and yet the masses were much worse fed and clothed than is the case in modern nations 古代国家所使用的人手，与全人口对比，不知比现在要增加多少倍，工作比现在艰苦，各个人所拥有的土地面积比现在的大，然而一般群众吃的、穿的却比不上现在。
