547 B 2 7- 'I n tne absence of all poverty, ' i. E. Being rich in spiritual wealth. (Cp. Il6. 417, and 243. 521. ) C 30. ' To come to an agreement. ' All the states and char- acters between kingship and despotism are compromises, in unstable equilibrium in each case a mere transient balance of disorganising forces. (Cp. 276. 8, 548 c, 277- 4> 549> 278. 19, 550, 284. 14, 554, 293. 5, 561, 306. 43. 57 2 -) 31. 'Divide and appropriate. ' The first overt act of the deteriorating government is to pl...ace the governing class in the possession of private property, which before was confined to the lower ranks, who in the Timocracy are dispossessed. 275.
