Vilfredo Pareto

Social movements usually follow the line of least resistance. While the direct production of economic goods is often very hard, taking possession of those goods produced by others is very easy. This facility has greatly increased from the moment when deprivation became possible through the law and not contrary to it.

Vilfredo Pareto, “Socialism and Freedom,” 1891.
