What has destroyed every previous civilization has been the tendency to the unequal distribution of wealth and power.
Henry George
And books that were published in much larger numbers than Selfish, Little are hard to find. And publishers who wanted to publish my last few works have them stuck in limbo while new distribution ideas and legal issues and fears are blown away.
Peter Sotos
