I just started reading Grapes of Wrath.
"...but it's our land. We measured it and broke it up. We were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. Even if it's no good it's still ours. That's what makes it ours-being born on it, working it, dying on it. That makes ownership, not a paper with numbers on it.
We're sorry. It's not us. It's the monster. The bank is not like a man.
Yes, but the bank is only made of men.
No, your wrong there - quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It's the monster. Men made it, but they can't control it."

very interesting and very appropriate for the current happenings.
Sounds like a very interesting book. I just might have to pick that one up sometime.
