Others are very complicated. The masses are frequently despoiled without knowing it. They may even imagine that they owe all to spoliation--not only what is left to them, but what is taken from them, and what is lost in the process. Nay more, I affirm that, in course of time, and owing to the ingenious mechanism to which they become accustomed, many men become spoliators without knowing that they are so, or desiring to be so. Monopolies of this kind are engendered by artifice and nourished by error. They disappear only with advancing enlightenment.

白话

巴斯夏说,有些掠夺很复杂,大众常被抢了还不知道。他们甚至以为一切好处都来自掠夺者,连被抢走的部分也归功于对方。更妙的是,久而久之,许多人成了掠夺者却不自知,也没想害人。这类垄断由人为设计产生,靠错误观念滋养,只有启蒙进步才能消除。所以,要警惕那些让受益者浑然不觉的制度,多问:谁在为这些好处买单?

上下文

巴斯夏指出,复杂的垄断让大众在不知不觉中被剥削,甚至感激掠夺者。

今日一问

你享受的某些“福利”,是否正让另一群人在默默买单?
