A high church for the true mediocre. View quote

It was he who build the Egyptian civilization, the great unsurpassed Roman civilization, the Greek civilization of beauty and culture, and who, after having been dealt a serious blow by a new Semitic religion, wallowed through the Dark Ages, finally extricated himself, and then build the great European civilization.

This process leads to regional specialization and to division of labor, both in agricultural production and in handicrafts. View quote
