The prevailing ethos of the modern world is that the only values we can usefully measure are those that can be expressed in terms of economics. Our value and worth are contingent upon what we earn and on what we own. Yet the outcome of the global economic crash of recent years has shown that it is people who have been under assault, not just financial value: erode the economic and you erode the personal.
