on Sunday, December 13, 2020John le Carre Money Quote saying Good societies care for those in need because the rich have only greed. The poorest must be properly cared for. John le Carre said:
“My definition of a decent society is one that first of all takes care of its losers, and protects its weak. What I see in my country, progressively over these years, is that the rich have got richer, the poor have got poorer. The rich have become indifferent through a philosophy of greed, and the poorer have become hopeless because they’re not properly cared for” — John le Carre
