Passage 1
One of the most fateful errors of our Age is the belief that the problem of production has been solved. Things are
not going as well as they ought to be going must be due to human wickedness. We must therefore construct a
political system so perfect that human wickedness disappears and everybody behaves well.
Infact, it is widely held that everybody is born good; if one turns into a criminal or an exploiter, this is the fault
of the system. Modern man talks of battle with nature, forgetting that, if he won the battle, he would find
himself on the losing side.
The illusion of unlimited powers, nourished by technological achievements, has produced the concurrent
illusion of having solved the problem of production.
The latter illusion is based on the failure to distinguish between income and capital, where this distinction
matters most. Every economist and businessman is familiar with the distinction and applies it conscientiously to
all economic affairs except the irreplaceable capital, which man has not made, but has simply found and without
which he can do nothing.
Far larger is the capital provided by nature and not by man and we do not even recognise it as such. This larger
part is not being used up at an alarming rate and that is why it is an absurd and suicidal error to believe and act
on the belief that the problem of production has been solved.

Passage 2
Piccadilly Circus was full of loneliness. It seethes and echoes with it. To live near it, looking down on it is a
discomforting exercise. You cant feel the pulse of London here, though people expect to. To Londoners it is a
maddening obstruction between one place and another and few voluntarily linger there. The only locals are
those who live off the lingereres, the lingerers are primarily sightseers, with a fair sprinkling of people hoping to
draw attention to themselves-both typically from the provinces. They have come to see the heart of London and
expect to see spectacle, glamour and vice.
