  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jaime Luciano Balmes
His parents enriched him with no material wealth, but he owed to them a firm, well-balanced temperament, a thorough education, and, probably to his father, a marvellous memory.
The next stage of his education was completed at the University of Cervera, where after seven years he received his licentiate in 1833.
This work, which for its wealth of fact and critical insight would alone have taxed the resources of a longer life than that which was allotted to Balmes, left to its author time and energy adequate to accomplish tasks of hardly less magnitude and significance.

 Soren Kierkegaard [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Although his material fortunes soon turned around dramatically, he was convinced that he had brought a curse on his family and that all his children were doomed to die by the age attained by Jesus Christ (33).
He subsequently inherited his uncle's fortune, and augmented his wealth by some felicitous investments during the state bankruptcy of 1813 (the year, as Søren later put it, in which so many bad notes were put into circulation).
The wealth he had inherited from his father enabled him to support himself comfortably without the need to work for a living.

The alternative "socioeconomic democracy," and advanced theoretical model in which there is some form of universal guaranteed income as well as a limit to maximum allowable personal wealth, combined with a realistic degree of human flexibility based on public choice theory.
Arguing that such a procedure would allow a society to democratically control the extreme limits of material wealth and poverty, the author forecasts that such a system will create strong economic incentives while reducing the present undesirable and expensive social problems associated with the maldistribution of wealth.
This innovative book will be of interest to scholars and others interested in exploring ways to strengthen democracy while improving economic systems around the world.
