buying and selling is essentially anti-social in all its tendencies. It is an education in self-seeking at the expense of others, and no society whose citizens are trained in such a school can possibly rise above a very low grade of civilization.

“Markets are means to obtain certain ends -- most notably, higher living standards. They are not ends in themselves. Even more so, many of the specific policy measures that have been advocated in recent decades ... such as privatization and liberalization, should not be viewed as ends in themselves but as means. While the goals of markets are narrow -- they are concerned with material well-being, and not with broader values like social justice -- unfettered markets often fail to achieve even these limited objectives.”
