fatality, to which he sacrifices his children as he was sacrificed to it himself. It is true the workhouses exist, menacing society with an inundation of beggars – what way is there of escaping from the cause?.. It is clear that any society where the means of subsistence increase less rapidly than the numbers of the population, is a society on the brink of an abyss… Competition produces destitution; this is a fact shown by statistics. Destitution is fearfully prolific; this is shown by statistics. The fruitfulness of the poor throws upon society unhappy creatures who have need of work and cannot find it; this is shown by statistics. At this point society is reduced to a choice between killing the poor or maintaining them gratuitously – between atrocity or folly."1
