I don't think these will work as expected because the for splits on
spaces. :-(

It is the assumption of this book that a work of art is a gift, not a
commodity.  Or, to state the modern case with more precision, that works
of
art exist simultaneously in two "economies," a market economy and a gift
economy.  Only one of these is essential, however: a work of art can
survive
without the market, but where there is no gift there is no art.
