"I like a neighbourhood, and that is not the same as a road leading to a supermarket... I don’t like the chilly world of corporate retail – not the food shops, not the bookshops, not the chain stores. I prefer individuality and eccentricity and self-determination – all the things the free market is supposed to deliver and never does, because markets soon become homogenous and anti-competitive." - Jeanette Winterson, Observer Magazine, June 13 2010
