I Like a Good Quote

Not just that. A merchant and a financier can easily transfer his wealth outside the country. An industrialist can do that too to a certain degree. If you own land and live stock, you cannot do that. Thus, land owners have much greater interest in the well-being of their country and will take care better of it.

Being rooted to the land gives you something to fight for. This is something all politicians ought to know.
