Arundhati Roy Quotes
I See A Role For Specialized Knowledge, But I Think That It's Important For There To Be An Arena Where It Is Shared, Where It Is Communicated. It's Not That Somebody Shouldn't Have Specialized Knowledge. The Ability To Dig A Trench And Lay A Cable Is A Kind Of Specialized Knowledge. Farmers Have Specialized Knowledge, Too. The Question Is: What Sort Of Knowledge Is Privileged In Our Societies? I Don't Think That A CEO Is More Valuable To Society And Ought To Be Paid Ten Million Dollars A Year, While Farmers And Laborers Starve.
The Range Of What Is Valued Has Become So Extreme That One Lot Of People Have Captured It And Left Three-quarters Of The World To Live In Unthinkable Poverty, Because Their Work Is Not Valued. What Would Happen If The Sweepers Of The City Went On Strike Or The Sewage System Didn't Work? A CEO Wouldn't Be Able To Deal With His Own Shit.
