3rd socio-economic principle of Prout
The surplus goods and services, after distributing the minimum necessities, are to be given according to the social value of the individual's production.
Purport: The surplus wealth, after meeting the minimum necessities of the age, will have to be distributed among talented people according to their merit. Motorcars instead of bicycles, for example, should be provided to meritorious people in recognition of their accomplishments to provide them with greater opportunities for social service. ‘Serve according to your capacity and earn according to your necessity' sound good to the ears, but will reap no harvest in the hard soil of the world.
