Carping Envy

Sharing Options

“Egalitarianism, the political name for carping envy, was made obnoxious, the way it ought to be. The White Witch came upon an extravagant feast at Christmas, with all sorts of waste and conspicuous consumption. ‘What is the meaning of all this gluttony, this waste, this self-indulgence?’ She then turned the partyers into stone and went on her evil, self-righteous way. We see the White Witch, Judas Iscariot, and federal bureaucrats have a good deal in common–concern for the poor sincerely expressed by those who keep the money bag” (Future Men, p. 106).
