John Berger 2

Dit schreef John Berger over 'the dealers of the Free Market and their corollary, the Mafia': zij gaan ervan uit dat 'they now have the world in their pocket. They have. But to maintain their confidence they have to change the meaning of all the words used in languages to explain or praise or give value to life: every word, according to them now, is the servant of profit. And so they have become dumb. Or, rather, they can no longer speak any truth. Their language is too withered for that. As a consequence they have also lost the faculty of memory. A loss which one day will be fatal.' Let maar op.
