![American society [...] not only sanctions gross and unfair relations among men, but it encourages them. Now, can that be denied? No. Rivalry, competition, envy, jealousy, all that is malignant in human character is nourished by the system. Possession, money, property--on such corrupt standards as these do you people measure happiness and success.](/assets/img/quote-photos/american-society-not-only-sanctions-gross-and-unfair-relations-among-men-b.jpg)

The power of the glamorous resides in their supposed happiness: the power of the bureaucrat in his supposed authority. John Berger
