The biggest prop to the hog-mind is pride pride in property and the power property gives. Ruskin backs this up "it is at the bottom of all great mistakes; other passions do occasional good, but whenever pride puts in its word ... it is all over with the artist." Again, if a picture in economics is before him, Emerson plunges down to the things that ARE because they are BETTER than they are.
