his books, but some of the better
things of life, which includes good
manners.

THa, I take it, ia roughly what
is meant by “the economic inter

ipterpretetion, you think, make our
respected ancestors seem like a lot
of soulless pigs? Does it “debase"
American history in our eyes and
make us love our country les*?
Speaking personally, I must say
that it rertamlj does not It simply
means, to me at any rate, that the

the economic motive that shapes
history, because it's universal and

When, then, should anybody be

perfectly true that a lot of the

courageously at it by a variety of
other less material motives. But in
these other motive* they differed
endlessly among themaelviea. The
economic motive was common to
