Description
<img attachment="karl_marx_by_john_jabez_edwin_mayall_1875.webp" align="right" title="Karl Marx"><bq author="Karl Marx" source="Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1" date="July 25, 1867">In every stock-jobbing swindle everyone knows that some time or other the crash must come, but everyone hopes that it may fall on the head of his neighbour, after he himself has caught the shower of gold and placed it in secure hands. Après moi le déluge! is the watchword of every capitalist and of every capitalist nation.</bq>
