Re: Robert Frank on increasing needs

Robert H. Frank wrote,

"To demand quality for its own sake is to be a discerning buyer. But
to flaunt one's superiority is to be a boor, a social moron."

Compare this to Dogberry's remark to Seacoal, cited by Marx in
Capital, "To be a well-favoured man is the gift of fortune; but
reading and writing comes by nature."
