More From Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.

When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. when you have your own school, you have dignity. when you have your own country, you have dignity.when you have something of your own, you have dignity. but whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. that's ignorance.

We tend to suffer from the illusion that we are capable of dying for a belief or theory. what hagakure is insisting is that even in merciless death, a futile death that knows neither flower nor fruit has dignity as the death of a human being. if we value so highly the dignity of life, how can we not also value the dignity of death? no death may be called futile.

The available supply of gold and silver being wholly inadequate to permit the issuance of coins of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into coin in the volume required to serve the needs of the people, some other basis for the issue of currency must be developed, and some means other than that of convertibility into coin must be developed to prevent undue fluctuation in the value of paper currency or any other substitute for money intrinsic value that may come into use.

In the kingdom of ends everything has either a price or a dignity. whatever has a price can be replaced by something else as its equivalent; on the other hand, whatever is above all price, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity. but that which constitutes the condition under which alone something can be an end in itself does not have mere relative worth, i.e., price, but an intrinsic worth, i.e., a dignity.
