"There are three ways for a nation to aquire wealth:
(1) by war, which permits taking by force the wealth of other nations,
(2) by trade, which to be profitable requires cheating; and
(3) by agriculture, through which we plant the seeds and create new wealth as if by miracle."

             - Benjamin Franklin
