Profit

Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked.The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.

Entrepreneurial profit… is the expression of the value of what the entrepreneur contributes to production in exactly the same sense that wages are the value expression of what the worker “produces.” It is not a profit of exploitation any more than are wages.

Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
