Every child that was born in the peasant family had his room at the table and his job in the field, stable or pigsty. . . If there was not enough food, everybody got less. If food was plentiful, everybody ate better. In such a setting, we may say, the problem of security couldn't even arise. . .

Some can be free only in so far as there is a form of dependence they can aspire to escape.
