Some Are Smarter Than Others: The History of Marcos' Crony Capitalism by Ricardo MandapatWritten 40 years ago in 1979, Some Are Smarter Than Others began its life as a 40 page pamphlet that slowly grew in size, and spread, by photocopy and by hand, during the Martial Law years. Today. It remains a living, burning example of how the plain and simple truth can and must become the most potent, persistent, and amplifiable tool against the powerful structures of oppression."
