Chapter 35 Us Versus Them
There are a lot of people in the upper economic half directly and indirectly doing much evil to people in the lower economic half. But there is not some monolithic evil entity, Wealth, or some conspiracy among all wealthy people to hold everyone else in a state of bondage and exploitation.
No doubt there are wealthy individuals who still subscribe to the now-debunked notion of Social Darwinism in which the powerful elite, by virtue of its being the elite, is “the fittest” and has every right to use “lesser” humans as beasts of burden. But it is seriously doubted that many among the wealthy believe this. There are certainly people who are not really into politics or ideology but who are willing, able, and working very hard using any means they can manage to put the economic screw to everyone about and beneath them.
