Question:

How does the principal argument of the Essay prove the necessity of a class of proprietors and a class of laborers without implying the usefulness or necessity of the present great inequality of property?

Answer (optional):

The principal argument of the Essay only proves the necessity of a class of proprietors and a class of laborers, but it does not imply the usefulness or necessity of the present great inequality of property. The decrease in the value of labor would only serve to decrease the possession of the class of laborers. While the present inequality of property is considered an evil, whether or not a government could actively interfere with it to repress it is a matter of debate. Additionally, the passage suggests that the system of barter and exchange may be viewed as a vile and iniquitous traffic by some, and alternative means of assisting the poor may be necessary.
