• Two world wars, three monstrous dictatorships-in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Red China-plus every lesser variant of devastating socialist experimentation in a global spread of brutality and despair, have not prompted modern intellectuals to question or revise their dogma.

They still believe that money is the root of all evil-except government money, which is the solution to all problems.

It goes back to authors being terrible people who delight in the suffering of others. Plus, we get a kickback from the caffeine industry.
