Commodification in America: Old and New

Commodification in America: Old and New
(The surrender of General Lee to General Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia on April 9, 1865. Reproduction of a painting by Thomas Nast.)

“And yet, today, we continue to engage in various forms of commodifying the human person, even if they are less visibly brutal and bloody.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
