автор название книги
Только одна идея никогда не приводила к крови: «Хочу жить богато и счастливо, согласен за это работать, к героизму не готов, а на всех остальных мне, по большому счету, плевать...» Именно этот несимпатичный внешне лозунг позволяет построить работающую машину нормального капитализма, при котором большинство среднего класса живет вполне благопристойно, сыто, чистенько, аккуратно. Если, конечно, не увлечется очередной идеей справедливости... С этим исключительно полезным лозунгом все так здорово получается, видимо, из-за декларированного в нем равнодушия к людям и отпавшей в силу этого необходимости осчастливливать их насильно.
