The Plunder

Capitalism is implacable. An accidental encounter between a CEO and a homeless person symbolizes the dominant world order. Large corporations run the world, politics and yet society. Any "innocent" decision can have catastrophic consequences. Thousands of people depend on it without being aware of it. We must all be open-eyed not to suffer the final "Plunder".
