Intemporalidade

«What is all the toil and fuss for? What are people aiming at with their ambitions and frenzy pursuits of wealth, power and pre-eminence?

Are they looking to supply their basic needs? No. The wages of the poorest labourer could supply those…

They want to be treated well, they want to be attended, to be noticed of with sympathy and kindness and approval.»

– Adam Smith in “The Wealth of Nations” (1776)
