“Buying and selling have become common, like the art of reading and writing. Hunting was common, but eventually it became a privilege of the powerful and noble. It lost its everyday character and commonness because it ceased to be necessary. Perhaps the same might one day happen to buying and selling.”
—The Gay Science, §31 (edited excerpt).
