Notes -
Why is this not about greed?
To be clear, I did not get the sense from Anna Karenina that Tolstoy was against large holdings per se. It's just that he didn't think that there's any point in trying to save labor or increase profits - you can do that on a large plot or on a small one. Levin certainly seems to have vast tracts of land - forests, fields, etc etc.
