and even though this opinion has not been expressly voiced, acceptance of an ... unequal possession of the earth... was established and now ...man may fairly possess more land than he himself can use the product of...

It can be argued this claim is indeed false as it could only be the case that the minority which first had gold and silver consented to this commodification, leaving many with little alternative but to acquiesce.
