“Tools may be animate as well as inanimate; for instance, a ship's captain uses a lifeless rudder, but a living man for watch; for a servant is, from the point of view of his craft, categorized as one of its tools. So any piece of property can be regarded as a tool enabling a man to live, and his property is an assemblage of such tools; a slave is a sort of living piece of property; and like any other servant is a tool in charge of other tools.” MenWellsMayUsePoliticsViewsWatchesEconomyPiecesToolsPropertySlavePoint Of ViewShipsInstanceCraftsServantLiberalismCaptainsEnablingLifelessRuddersAssemblage Author:Aristotle
“For suppose that every tool we had could perform its task, either at our bidding or itself perceiving the need, and if-like the statues made by Dædalus or the tripods of Hephæstus, of which the poet says that "self-moved they enter the assembly of the gods" - shuttles in a loom could fly to and fro and a plectrum play a lyre all self-moved, then master-craftsmen would have no need of servants nor masters of slaves.” IfsNeedsMadeSelfPlayPoliticsEconomyPoetMastersToolsTasksMovedSlaveServantLiberalismStatuesAssemblyCraftsmanBiddingTripods Author:Aristotle

“The Open Market Committee, as presently established, is plainly not in the public interest. This committee must be operated by purely public servants, representatives of the people as a whole and not any single interest group.
