“Mma Ramotswe had a detective agency in Africa, at the foot of Kgale Hill. These were its assets: a tiny white van, two desks, two chairs, a telephone, and an old typewriter. Then there was a teapot, in which Mma Ramotswe – the only lady private detective in Botswana – brewed redbush tea. And three mugs – one for herself, one for her secretary, and one for the client. What else does a detective agency really need? Detective agencies rely on human intuition and intelligence, both of which Mma Ramotswe had in abundance. No inventory would ever include those, of course.” NeedsHumansDoeTwoThreeCoursesWhiteFeetIntuitionTinyTeaHillsRelyAgencyAbundanceChairsMmaAssetsClientsDesksSecretaryTelephonesVansDetectivesTypewritersInventoryMugTeapots Book:The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Source: The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
“The contemporary tendency in our society is to base our distribution on scarcity, which has vanished, and to compress our abundance into the overfed mouths of the middle and upper classes until they gag with superfluity. If democracy is to have breadth of meaning, it is necessary to adjust this inequity. It is not only moral, but it is also intelligent. We are wasting and degrading human life by clinging to archaic thinking.” IfsThinkingHumansMoralClassDemocracyMiddleMouthsIntelligentContemporaryTendenciesHuman LifeAbundanceOur SocietyConsumerismDistributionClingingScarcityOverconsumptionBreadthDegradingUpper ClassGags Book:All Labor Has Dignity Source: All Labor Has Dignity
