“Poverty is therefore a most necessary and indispensable ingredient in society…It is the source of wealth, since without poverty, there could be no labour; there could be no riches, no refinement, no comfort, and no benefit to those who may be possessed of wealth.”

Seems to me that centralized economies - whether they're created via government command or monopoly/oligopoly - suck.
Concentrate food production > Get the former farmers into the cities to manufacture stuff > Ship manufacturing overseas > Low paying service jobs are pretty much all that's left, has been a great plan for corporations, and not so good for your average Joe.
I dig the Greens' ideas about local economies. Wouldn't want to see them forced on anyone though.

This.
The problem isn't in human action, it's in monopoly/oligopoly powers of the use of force and violence to get compliance. Centralized, concentrated power is one of the most horrible ideas humans have ever mustered up.
