One common mistake that many people have made is this: they have
thought that it would be a very good thing if everybody had exactly the same amount
of money, no matter whether they worked hard or lived quite idly. They forget that
very few people would work at all if it were not for the money their work brings
them, and without work these would be no money. And they have imagined that if all
the money in the country were equally divided, everybody would be rich. Now that is
a very great mistake, because there simply is not enough money to make everybody
rich. If it were shared equally all round everyone then would, on the basis of the
calculations made in 1935. receive only about Rs.65, a year. Today with a rise in the
price level it might be Rs.150 a year. That may be more than you receive now or it
may be less; but would certainly not make you really rich. It is quite true that there
are a small number of very rich people; but they are so few in comparison with the
whole population that even if they were to share out all their wealth among the rest, it
would make very little difference. It is said that if you flattened out that great French
Mountain Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe, and spread it over the whole
France you would only raise the level of the land by about six inches. See if you can
think out what that has to do with the question I have been talking about.
