One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors

Environmental degradation, affluence that is only an illusion for many, war, the capital-labour conflict, a system that forces a man to fight for a job on an environmentally destructive project, unresponsive institutions,pensioner poverty and a consumer who can’t afford to pay for the pollution control costs that will inevitably be passed on to him. That is a good statement of the problem.
