Peter R.L. Brown Quote
At the same time, radical Pelagian tracts, such as the de divitiis—the relentlessly argued Treatise on Riches—had advocated the total renunciation of property by the rich.27 The author of this tract extended his plea for total renunciation to include a consequential denunciation of the existence of wealth in the first place: Tolle divitem et pauperem non invenies (Get rid of the rich and you will find no poor) was one of his many provocative slogans.
