A Timeless Classic that is relevant today with respect to the 1% and congress's favor-ability to corporate agenda's vs the needs of the people.
I read this many years ago when I was young and it left a lasting impression. A valuable lesson.
I know the helplessness of trying to defend myself from wrong when I don't have money, influence or power.
The Powerful and the Greedy will just take what they want.
There are ways to cope, but if things don't change a line will be crossed.
I don't know. just don't know.
