INow it is very remarkable that among people in a very low stage of civilization we find some approach to such perfect social state. I have lived with communities of savages in South America and in the East who have no laws or law courts but the public opinion of the village freely expressed. Each man scrupulously respects the rights of his, and any infraction of those rights rarely or never takes place. . . . .
We should now clearly recognize the fact, that the wealth and knowledge and culture of the few do not constitute civilization, and do not of themselves advance us toward the “perfect social state.” our vast manufacturing system, our gigantic commerce, our crowded towns and cities, support and continually renew a mass of human misery and crime absolutely greater than has ever existed before. They crate and maintain in life-long labour an ever-increasing army, whose lot is the more hard to bear by contrast with the pleasure, the omforts, and the luxury which they see everywhere around them, but which they can neve rhope to enjoy; and who, in this respect, are worse off than the savage in the midst of his tribe. ~ Page 455
