“. . . A place more destitute of all interesting objects than Manchester, it is not easy to conceive. In size and population it is the second city in the kingdom, containing above fourscore thousand [80,000] inhabitants. Imagine this multitude crowded together in narrow streets, the houses all built of brick and blackened with smoke; frequent buildings among them as large as convents, without their antiquity, without their beauty, without their holiness; where you hear from within, as you pass along, the everlasting din of machinery; and where when the bell rings it is to call wretches to their work instead of their prayers, . . . ”

“If man in the state of nature is free, if he is absolute lord of his own person and possessions, why will he give up his freedom? Why will he put himself under the control of any person or institution? The obvious answer is that rights in the state of nature are constantly exposed to the attack of others. Since every man is equal and since most men do not concern themselves with equity and justice, the enjoyment of rights in the state of nature is unsafe and insecure. Hence each man joins in society with others to preserve his life, liberty, and property.”

Trade-offs, also known as opportunity costs, are what gives up when making a decision. For example, imagine that Keisha has $2000.00 in her savings account. She must decide whether to keep the money in the bank or spend it on used car. If she keeps the money in the bank, the opportunity cost is used car. If she buys the used car, the opportunity cost is the money she would have earned in interest. All financial decisions involve trade-offs(opportunity costs)

The weather was gloomy and the moist air chilled one to the bones.
