Also, remember that it is impossible to make a sustainable fortune by transferring wealth. Wealth must be created for economic success.
Why is it certain? You seem to be talking only on faith.

If my bargaining position is better than yours I will tend to get more out of the deal than you. If this is continually reinforced I will tend to stay ahead of you and probably build on the gap, particularly if I have as large a head start as alot of colonial grandees.

I could give a brief over view of just what this means in relation to land and the transactions involved but for now this will do.
