George Orwell, em Why I Write

From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew that when I grew up I should be a writer. Between the ages of about seventeen and twenty-four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with the consciousness that I was outraging my true nature and that sooner or later I should have to settle down and write books.

Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose. They exist in different degrees in every writer, and in any one writer the proportions will vary from time to time, according to the atmosphere in which he is living. They are:

A cool whiff of reality has apparently blown through the Washington Post offices. They announced yesterday that they're going to start including links to other sources in their online articles, even to competitors. That's great. It brings real value to their pages, value that users otherwise will seek elsewhere.

Let me end with a brief reflection on a very profound shift that I believe is happening—a shift between using technology to support the individual and using technology to support relationships. This shift will be very important because with it we will discover new ways, new tools and new social protocols for helping us help each other, which is really the very essence of social learning. It is also the essence of lifelong learning, a form of learning that learning ecologies could dramatically facilitate. And being able to create learning ecologies in a region is a first step to constructing a culture of learning, more generally.
Learning, Working & Playing in the Digital Age

The points I intend to make here are, basically, three: (a) that markets should be understood, in an ideal-typical manner, as part of a general social order which I refer to by the ancient expression 'civil society' (CS); (b) that markets reinforce that order by shaping and influencing culture, politics and society so that they proceed, or function, in a civil manner; and (c) that we may get a better grasp of the way markets act and achieve this effect by developing an understanding of markets as conversations.(...)

I develop a view of markets as conversations, that is, as a system of communication (mostly, but not entirely, by non-linguistic means) which works as an educational mechanism shaping people's habits. In turn, these habits may help them to develop a complex of capacities and dispositions, of civil and civic virtues, which we can bracket together under the rubric of 'civility'.
