"If you have a bread and I have a euro, and I use my euro to buy your bread, at the end of the exchange I will have the bread and you the euro. Seems like a perfect balance, doesn't it? A has a euro, B has a bread, then, A has the bread and B the euro. It's a fair transaction, but merely material.
Now, imagine you have a Verlaine sonnet or you know Pythagoras theorem, and I have nothing. If you teach me, at the end of this exchange, I'll have learned the sonnet and theorem, but you'll still have them too. In this case, there's not only balance, but growth.
First we had a commerce second we shared knowledge. And while goods are consumed, culture expands infinitely. ”
