“Jeremy Bentham argued that 'even in the best of times the great mass of citizens will most probably possess few resources other than their daily labour and, consequently, be always near indigence'.

Bentham argued that an important task of government was to ensure conditions of deprivation, thereby guaranteeing that hunger would [be a constant motivation to work].” GovernmentHungerIndigenceJeremy BenthamBentham Book:Cult of Impotence: Selling the Myth of Powerlessness in the Global Economy Source: Cult of Impotence: Selling the Myth of Powerlessness in the Global Economy
