It is hypocritical for feminists and intellectuals to enjoy the pleasures and conveniences of capitalism while sneering at it. . . . Everyone born into capitalism has incurred a debt to it. Give Caesar his due. Capital in some form or other will always be needed. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
Poverty is an anomaly to rich people.
It is very difficult to make out why people who want dinner do not ring the bell. The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it. To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships. If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery, in impoverishment.
