GG20200526 -- Eugenics by G K Chesterton Part 2 Chapter 5

"Eugenics and Other Evils," by G.K. Chesterton, published in 1922.

Chapter 5 --The Meanness of the Motive:

"Now, if any ask whether it be imaginable that an ordinary man of the wealthier type should analyse the problem or conceive the plan, the inhumanly far-seeing plan, as I have set it forth, the answer is: "Certainly not." Many rich employers are too generous to do such a thing; many are too stupid to know what they are doing."
