On the ‘Evils’ of the Present Economic System

Did what Bertrand Russell say in 1916 still relevant today?

“Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.”

—  Bertrand Russell, Sceptical Essays (1928), Ch. 13: Freedom in Society.
