To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Usually, it is enough if other sea nomads and traders are kept away, if the monopoly of robbery and trade is secured, and if the "subjects" are kept quiet by forts and garrisons. Important places of production are, of course, actually "dominated"; and this applies especially to mines, to a few fertile grain belts, to woods with good lumber, to salt works, and to im- portant fisheries. Domination here, there- fore, means permanent administration, by making the subjects work these for the ruling ...class. It is only later in the development, that there arises a taste for "lands and serfs" and large domains for the ruling class beyond the confines of the narrow and original limits of the State. This happens when the maritime state by the incorporation of subjugated terri- 160 THE STATE tories has become a mixture of the territorial and the maritime forms. But even in that case, and in contradistinction to territorial states, large landed properties are merely a source of money rentals, and are in nearly all cases administered as absentee-property.
