Man is capital--like a rouble, he is made up of trashy copper groshes and copecks.

From the dust of the earth, as it is said; and even as he has intercourse with the world, he absorbs grease and oil, sweat and tears--a soul and a mind form themselves in him.

And from this he starts to grow upward and downward.

Now, you see his price is a grosh, now a fifteen copeck silver piece, now a hundred roubles, and sometimes he is above any price.

He is put into circulation and he must bring interests to life.
