Excerpt from "Design for the Real World."

A tithe was something one paid: the peasant would set aside 10 per cent of his crop for the poor, the rich man would give up 10 per cent of his income at the end of the year to feed those in need. Being designers, we don’t have to pay money in the form of a tithe. Being designers, we can pay by giving 10 percent of our crop of ideas and talents to the 75 percent of mankind in need.

-Papanek, Victor (p.57)
