“A more realistic understanding [of the value of commentary] is that individual consumers engage in consumption as a social process, deriving psychic benefits from being part of a community with an intersubjectively shared reality.”
― Mukti Khaire, Culture and Commerce: The Value of Entrepreneurship in Creative Industries

“Unemployment or the loss of income which will always affect some in any society is certainly less degrading if it is the result of misfortune and not deliberately imposed by authority.”
― F.A. Hayek

“While people will submit to suffering which may hit anyone, they will not so easily submit to suffering which is the result of the decision of authority. It may be bad to be just a cog in an impersonal machine; but it is infinitely worse if we can no longer leave it, if we are tied to our place and to the superiors who have been chosen for us. Dissatisfaction of everybody with his lot will inevitably grow with the consciousness that it is the result of deliberate human decision.”
― F.A. Hayek

“There will always exist inequalities which will appear unjust to those who suffer from them, disappointments which will appear unmerited, and strokes of misfortune which those hit have not deserved. But when these things occur in a society which is consciously directed, the way in which people will react will be very different from what it is when they are nobody's conscious choice.”
― F.A. Hayek
