I am a capitalist and a landholder.

I have railway shares, mining shares, building shares, bank shares, and stock of most kinds; and a great trouble they are to me.

But these shares do not represent wealth actually in existence; they are a mortgage on the labor of unborn generations of laborers, who must work to keep me and mine in idleness and luxury.

If I sold them, would the mortgage be cancelled and the unborn generations released from its thrall?
No.

It would only pass into the hands of some other capitalist, and the working class would be no better off for my self-sacrifice.
