Two other quotations from JB Clark may elucidate the matter "While there is no danger that any theory may establish a permanent reign of practical socialism, there is a general and not unfounded fear of agitations and attempts in this direction ; and systems of economic science must submit to be judged, not merely by their correctness or incorrectness, but by their seeming tendency to strengthen or weaken the social fabric. In this view can that theory be the one desired which in any way obscures the action of moral forces in originating, developing and sustaining the institution of property, and which tends, however remotely, to place that institution on a de facto basis?" "Recent Theories of Wages", New Englander and Yale Review, 42:174,354-364 at p. 363 And "Does society proceed capriciously in the allotment of rewards and sacrifices? Do some classes fail to get the proportionate benefit that is properly theirs?" "Society tends actually to conform to the rule 'to every man the product that is distinctly attributable to the sacrifice the he or others in his interest have made'".
