Two Sides of the Same Bloody Coin

Ed Dorn:
"Business is a form of terror-- you leave the victim,
the customer, even the mere low-end shopper wasted,
drained of cash and will and shackled to the future..."

Patrick Chamoiseau:
"A proletariat without factories, workshops and work, and without bosses, in the muddle of the odd jobs, drowning in survival and leading an existence like a path through embers."

An addendum:
The Last Refuge
It's not so much that power corrupts...,
but that the corrupt seek power.
