Brotherhood in economic life — and hence the legal basis — and they produce commodities, daily bread, that flow outward into the circulation of goods. The end-consumer price of these commodities must be such that this stream of goods can flow continuously from the beginning of sowing to the end of consumption. This calls for an imaginatively formative thinking. Out of this thinking there forms a community judgment, and that alone is adequate to economic life. The individual judgment cannot accomplish this. It ends necessarily in the dead end of egoism. Only in the forming of associations, in the associative collaboration of economic partners, can a thinking develop that takes the needs of fellow human beings as its point of orientation. It grasps economic contexts in living pictures and brings forth, fluently and vitally, a community judgment whose product is, among other things, the price. Only this mode of thinking — one that anchors and enlivens itself at the facts of economic life — is capable of rooting out the apparently invincible egoism, the cancerous ill of economic life.
