Jonathan Crary Quote
In many different ways, the attack on values of collectivity and cooperation is articulated through the notion that freedom is to be free of any dependence on others, while in fact we are experiencing a more comprehensive subjection to the free workings of markets. As Harold Bloom has shown, the real American religion is to be free of other selves.
