The Super-rich: Origin, Reproduction, and Social Acceptance

Luca Storti, Joselle Dagnes

The Pharisee is the type defined by Fromm as the ‘authoritarian character’, who worships power for its own sake, reveres the powerful and despises the powerless. In other words, the orientation is sadomasochistic – kiss up and piss down. This type will also fear, loathe and seek to suppress those like Christ who have authority and do not need or seek power.

Michael Foley

She called the neoclassical theory of income distribution ‘a powerful tool of miseducation.’
