Have you read the ragged trousered phillanthropists?

No I haven’t, but if you’re suggesting that these so-called unnatural constructs can be damaging to the world, that is certainly true, but the flipside is that they also lead to great progress.

Imho Its a really good book, i think the first novel written by a non-noble, or something like that.

Its over 100 years old but still very relevant today. Understanding how things have not changed in that time was powerful in helping me form opinions on what should change.
