Excerpt from Some Readings in Economics, Prepared for the Use of Students in Course I, Political Economy, University of Michigan A. *originally only the human has importance for man. Thought for one's self, interest in one's self, comes by na ture. Towards things, on the other hand, man is originally indifferent, and his interest in them only awakens in so far as he finds them connected with human interests and des tinies. This takes various forms; such as pity, when the lower animals are seen to suffer just as man does, or relig ious or poetic emotion, when observation of the living in nature awakens suspicion of the connection of all life, or, finally, economic valuation, when things are conceived of as instruments to and conditions of human well - being. This is the coldest form that our interest takes, as it regards things simply as means to human ends; it is, however, at the same time, the most far - reaching, as it embraces most things, and claims not only existence, but property.
