Excerpt from The Production and Distribution of Wealth: An Address, Delivered at the Detroit Meeting of the American Social Science Association, May 11, 1875
But, when that time comes, then all material wealth, as we ordinarily use the term, must disappear; for that only is wealth which has exchangeable value, and that only has exchangeable value which is desired. But we can neither value nor desire that which, like the air, is at all times given to all, in excess of any possible use or necessity.
