A Mad, Mad World

If anything could sum up the madness of capitalist society it is surely this. 'A rare violin "hidden in a closet" at the home of a reclusive US heiress for decades is expected to fetch up to $10 million (£6 million) at auction this week. .....  The violin is one of the highlights of the sale from the estate of Huguette Clark, the eccentric heiress to a copper fortune.' (Independent on Sunday, 8 June) A useless parasite possesses a valuable work of art of which she is unaware whilst millions starve and die for the lack of a few dollars. Capitalism stinks! RD
