The discovery and colonization of America, it will readily be allowed, have contributed to augment the industry, first, of all the countries which trade to it directly, such as Spain, Portugal, France, and England; and, secondly, of all those which, without trading to it directly, send, through the medium of other countries, goods to it of their own produce, such as Austrian Flanders, and some provinces of Germany, which, through the medium of the countries before mentioned, send to it a considerable quantity of linen and other goods. All such countries have evidently gained a more extensive market for their surplus produce, and must consequently have been encouraged to increase its quantity.

君有三欲於民，三欲不節，則上位危。三欲者何也？一曰求，二曰禁，三曰令。求必欲得，禁必欲止，令必欲行。求多者其得寡，禁多者其止寡，令多者其行寡。求而不得則威日損，禁而不止則刑罰侮，令而不行則下凌上。故未有能多求而多得者也，未有能多禁而多止者也，未有能多令而多行者也。故曰：上苛則下不聽，下不聽而彊以刑罰，則爲人上者衆謀矣。爲人上而衆謀之，雖欲毋危，不可得也。

We believe that the annual probability of a U.S. mega-catastrophe causing $400 billion or more of insured losses is about 2%. No one, of course, knows the correct probability. We do know, however, that the risk increases over time because of growth in both the number and value of structures located in catastrophe-vulnerable areas.
