Illustrated: Adam Smith 20 Pound Bank Note


Poem Artwork

Notwithstanding the greatness

Of Heaven and Earth,

Their transforming power

Proceeds from one source.

 

Notwithstanding the number

Of all things in the world,

The ruling of them conforms

To one and the same principle

Of the general concord.

 

Notwithstanding the multitude

Of nations, the rulers of them

Are their leaders whose courses

Should proceed from the qualities

Of their virtues and be perfected

On the regular basis. When it is so,

It is known as the national flourishing.

An idealistic reality is in your poem, though an ideal not likely to be reached completely. You've described a way of defining real prosperity, not the artificial, massaged and oversold substitutes we live with daily. Here's to expanding our understanding of what's real. Reality itself needs no help for it always will exist regardless of our wishes.

Since we are upon the season of selecting our four year rulers, we should be seeking someone of virtue that can be perfected. Unfortunately, I doubt that happening this year. We may have to wait another four years for someone like that to come forward.

This is a political treatise that deals with the China issue from a completely new perspective. Disparaging as he may sound, from page to page, toward "the old system" and the Communist Party's various wiles, the author demonstrates his mysteriously
