Remember That Accumulated Knowledge, Like Accumulated Capital, Increases At Compound Interest: But It Differs From The Accumulation Of Capital In This; That The Increase Of Knowledge Produces A More Rapid Rate Of Progress, Whilst The Accumulation Of Capital Leads To A Lower Rate Of Interest. Capital Thus Checks It Own Accumulation: Knowledge Thus Accelerates Its Own Advance. Each Generation, Therefore, To Deserve Comparison With Its Predecessor, Is Bound To Add Much More Largely To The Common Stock Than That Which It Immediately Succeeds.
