"A human being should never become a means to an end. But already in the economic system of the last few decades, most working people had been turned into mere means, degraded to become mere tools for economic life. It was no longer work that was the means to an end, a means for life or indeed a food for life -- rather it was a man and his life, his vital energy, his "man power," that became this means to an end."
