“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all,” Steinbeck wrote. “Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground…a million people hungry, needing the fruit — and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.”
Finally read this book last week. Needs to be a required read for every human. Basically every sentence had me nodding furiously in agreement . really shows how fucking evil rich people are even back then when they had WAYYYYYYYYYYY less than they do now.
But if you read Steinbeck you might have a spark of empathy or introspection and we can’t have that. Or even have thoughts about socialism, gasp! God forbid.
Ha exactly. I told my friend who is a big Rand fan they need to read it.
I actually like Rands books myself. But the ideology falls apart with a modicum of introspection.
I’d recommend east of Eden and winter of our discontent as well. Especially the latter if you’re in the US.
Gonna get those for sure
SomeonelolWhat book is this? Sounds like something Steinbeck would write.
Grapes of Wrath. Good catch!
