“‘Capitalism’, he wrote in Ways of Seeing, ‘survives by forcing the majority to define their own interests as narrowly as possible’. It was narrowness he set himself against, the toxic impulse to wall in or wall off. Be kin to the strange, be open to difference, cross-pollinate freely. He put his faith in the people, the whole host of us.”
