“The traders are creators of unreasonable desires. Where the priest fails to make his victims willing slaves and the soldier is impotent to make living slaves, his violence only producing dead bodies, the trader enslaves the will itself, and men are led to want their own enslavement, thinking it is only the pleasure of owning things they want.”
-Ayi Kwei Armah (Two Thousand Seasons)
