If you were to ask them, as indeed they are very often asked, which of these they regard as fundamental, they would reply that they would not attempt to answer, that the question is purely an academic one, that all these go hand in hand, but that historically the first of them--namely, progress in means of subsistence--had generally preceded progress in government, in literature, in knowledge, in refinement, and in religion. Though not itself of the highest importance, it is the foundation upon which the whole superstructure of civilization is built, and without which it could not exist.

白话
如果有人问洛克菲勒和他的团队,这几项进步哪个最根本,他们会说这问题太学术,不愿回答,因为所有方面都手拉手前进。但从历史看,第一项——生存手段的进步——通常先于政府、文学、知识、教养和宗教的进步。它本身不是最高目的,却是文明整个上层建筑的地基,没有它,文明无法存在。核心是:物质基础先行,但不能止步于此。做法是:先解决生存问题,再推动更高层次的发展。
