While watching a recent program about Leonardo Da Vinci I found out something I had missed at the time.
In October 2017, at an auction in New York, a Saudi prince bought his, ''Salvatore Mundi'', for 400 million American dollars.
Some may defend this on the grounds that it will be in a museum for all to see, but, nevertheless, it says something very loudly about an economic system, where such lavish and totally socially useless spending can occur when millions live in abject poverty.
