Laws of nature. posted by Richard Seymour
Culture is nature in excess of itself. Everyone knows that. Even Shakespeare knew that.Still, here's a helpful reminder from Charlotte Street :
'All this dire misrery, therefore; all this of our poor workhouse workmen, of our Chartisms, Trade-strikes, Corn-Laws, Toryisms, and the general downbreak of laissez-faire in these days, - may we not regard it as a voice from the dumb bosom of nature, saying to us: Behold! Supply and demand is not the one Law of Nature; Cash-payment is not the sole nexus of man with man, - how far from it.' (Thomas Carlyle)
The Street is protesting its innocence , as I suspected. Whatever, just check his shit out because it smells better than most.
