The moral of history, also to be deduced from other observations

concerning agriculture, is that the capitalist system works against a

rational agriculture, or that a rational agriculture is incompatible

with the capitalist system (although the latter promotes technical

improvements in agriculture), and needs either the hand of the small

farmer living by his own labour or the control of associated

producers.
