Tony Benn 2007 interview:
> See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people and secondly, demoralize them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people "We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident because they would get out of control.
> The top 1% of the world's population owns 80% of world's wealth, it's incredible that people put up with it. But, they are poor, they are demoralized, they are frightened. And then they think, perhaps the safest thing to do is take orders and hope for the best."
Tony Benn the British labor MP, decased in 2014.
