The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich.

The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing. ~John Berger. m.youtube/watch?v=grkMudHc0ww&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DgrkMudHc0ww
