An
acre in Middlesex is better than a principality in Utopia
View quotes by Thomas MacaulayThe society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the
acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the centre of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.
