Epigraph
The enlarged market has become at once more impersonal and more intimate. What is there that does not pass through the market? Science and love, virtue and conscience, friendliness, carefully nurtured skills and animosities? ... (show all)This is a time of venality (instrumentality).
(Mills, 1951:161)
First words
This quote is as relevant today as it was when first published, 50 years ago.
