Hello readers!
It is an elementary truth of capitalism that you must make people pay for what you sell. Yet there is something irresistible about generosity! As Harvard University economist Stephen Marglin writes:
Love is a very special commodity,
An irregular economical oddity.
Bread, when you take, there’s less on the shelf.
Love, when you make it, it grows of itself.*
