His achievement, just because of its excellence, has an inevitable and an unequivocal social value.

The quality of a man's work reunites him with his fellows.

He may have been in appearance just as selfish as a man who spends most of his time in making money, but if his work has been thoroughly well done, he will, in making himself an individual, have made an essential contribution to national fulfillment.
Of course, a great deal of very excellent work is accomplished under the existing economic system; and by means of such work many a man becomes more or less of an individual.

But in so far as such is the case, it is the work which individualizes and not the unrestricted competitive pursuit of money.

In so far as the economic motive prevails, individuality is not developed; it is stifled.
