from William Vollmann's Poor People

[quote]“The lot of the poor can easily be imagined, runs a textbook on Filipino economics. They are forced to eat unwholesome and inadequate food, wear ragged clothes, and live in unhealthful surroundings. When they get sick, they cannot afford medical care. The textbook continues: They are responsive to the subversive preachings of wild-eyed agitators who make extravagant promises of social amelioration.”
