(quote-book) ''quo'' moves beyond view, then in similar fashion the ''quid pro quo''s we popularly debate descend into tokens of affection and regard as the ''quo''s begin to fluctuate wildly in value. If there exists any kind of inequity between ''quid'' and ''quo'', then—on this line of argument—the expansive category of “friendship” emerges to account for it, siphoning the situation away from the class of objectionable ''quid pro quo''. The claim officials here make—that for a ''quid'' to have a ''quo'' there must be some equivalency between the two—draws theoretical sustenance from the objective, exclusionary approach that critics of classical contract law apply to disproportionate exchanges.
