The Problem with Money.
” … Money is the accepted measure of brains. It is thought a man who makes a lot of money must be a clever fellow; a man who does not, is not.”
”So in everything: power lies with those who control finance, not with those who know the matter upon which the money is to be spent. Thus, the holders of power are, in general, ignorant and malevolent, and the less they exercise their power the better.”
– Bertrand Russell, Sceptical Essays (1928).
