the aristocracy of lawyers and bankers
who represent the country to-day,
just as the priests used to do
in the time of the monarchy,
has felt the necessity
of mystifying the worthy people
with a few new wordsand old ideas,
like philosophers of every school,
and all strong intellects
ever since time began."
(Honoré de Balzac - The Wild Ass's Skin (1831))
