Chapter III
“They simply destroy them here,” said the professor. “Well,” said the lawyer, from his judicial mind, “the great syndicates have no scruples in destroying a capitalist who won’t come into them or who tries to go out. They don’t club him or stone him, but they under-sell him and freeze him out; they don’t break his head, but they bankrupt him. The principle is the same.” “Don’t interrupt Mr. Homos,” the banker entreated.
