Thus: every time we spend money we are expected to act as if we were a minister for the economy as a whole; every time we eat, drink or make love we are to act as if we are experts in nutrition, health etc. We must be constantly be aware of ‘the signals we send out’ lest they encourage anti-social behaviour, mislead children or frighten the horses. That is, we must not do anything that will upset things as they are.
