Things are in a parlous state when Bertie Wooster understands economics better than all the smart johnnies running the Western world . . .
Orlo Porter, an old school acquaintance and ardent leftist, speaks to Bertie, and Bertie thinks sense to himself:
"'He has a big house in the country with a stable of racehorses, as he can well afford to after his years of grinding the faces of the widow and orphan'
I could have corrected him here, pointing out that you don't grind people's faces by selling them pressed beef and potato chips at a lower price than they would be charged elsewhere, but, as I say, he was my guest, so I refrained."
