Thomas Piketty, in [Capital in the Twenty-First Century][money]:
> Yet it seems to me that all social scientists, all journalists and commentators, all activists in the unions and in politics of whatever stripe, and especially all citizens should take a serious interest in money, its measurement, the facts surrounding it, and its history. Those who have a lot of it never fail to defend their interests. Refusing to deal with numbers rarely serves the interests of the least well-off.
[Rutger Bregman][ubi]:
> Poverty isn’t a lack of character; it’s a lack of cash.
