More From W. Somerset Maugham

Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption ... for myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. the liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. we objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.

Labor produces marvels for the rich but it produces deprivation for the worker. it produces palaces, but hovels for the worker. it produces beauty, but deformity for the worker. it replaces labor by machines, but it throws one section of the workers back to barbaric labor, and it turns the remainder into machines.

Political movements for justice are part of the fuller development of the cosmos, and nature is the matrix in which humans come to their self-awareness of their power to transform. liberation movements are a fuller development of the cosmos's sense of harmony, balance, justice, and celebration. this is why true spiritual liberation demands rituals of cosmic celebrating and healing, which will in turn culminate in personal transformation and liberation.

Libertarian action must recognize this dependence as a weak point and must attempt through reflection and action to transform it into independence. however, not even the best-intentioned leadership can bestow independence as a gift. the liberation of the oppressed is a liberation of women and men, not things. accordingly, while no one liberates himself by his own efforts alone, neither is he liberated by others. liberation, a human phenomenon, cannot be achieved by semihumans. any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.

It is an undeniable privilege of every man to prove himself right in the thesis that the world is his enemy; for if he reiterates it frequently enough and makes it the background of his conduct he is bound eventually to be right.

If a country is an attractive place for foreigners to invest their funds, then that country will have a relatively high exchange rate. if it's an unattractive place, it will have a relatively low exchange rate. those are the fundamentals that determine the exchange rate in a floating exchange rate system.
