"Rather than seeing himself as human because he could make economic calculations, the hunter insisted that being truly human meant refusing to make such calculations, refusing to measure or remember who had given what to whom, for the precise reason that doing so would inevitably create a world where we began "comparing power with power, measuring, calculating" and reducing each other to slaves or dogs through debt."

"And as I worked, the strength returned to my arms and shoulders, and the hope to my heart - not the mad hope of wealth and power that had led me astray, but a sweet and steady sense of the worth of what I was doing."
