“Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand”
it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.“Rats and roaches live by competition under the law of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy. It is impossible not to notice how little the proponents of the ideal of competition have to say about honesty, which is the fundamental economic virtue, and how very little they have to say about community, compassion, and mutual help.”
Wendell Berry, What Are People For?“Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand”
