Faux Bridge
Dialogue 2
- Would you say, Chris, that from the work you do you have a proper understanding
of economics?
- Are you asking me if value is visible in the work I do?
- Is economic value visible in any object?
- I would say that on the whole, the economic value of an object becomes
visible only by concentrated inquiry
- Your suit for example. What would you say is the complete pleasure of
your suit.
- Firstly, I value this form of suit, its simplicity, its single breasted
symmetry, its tapered trousers. Secondly I value the materials that it
is made of because they remain close to their original state and are not
beyond my understanding. The sum of these things, Ewan, is the value of
this suit.
