I have witnessed a power play between a rich industrialist and a poor worker in a third worlds country. The rich industrialist would get richer without doing anything and subdue the poor worker but the poor person would work add day and night and could not accumulate and sort of wealth. Ironically Although the richer guy had the bigger hand when it came to monetary issues and political issues and police power, what the poor worker had was the power to create the things for the industrialist. So if the worker didn’t get any work done then the industrialist wouldn’t have any thing to sell. But there was another power that reigned over the life of the poor worker. The power of ignorance. The worker was too ignorant to learn his rights and what he deserves and was completely oblivious towards the system.

In situations like this there is definitely more than one power play at work. I think there is more difficulty to act on protecting one self from such a strong power.
I somewhat agree with you as you said the poor man had the characteristics of ignorance…however ignorance is a bliss. I believe that each individual is happy in the stage of where they’re at life. Presumably the poor man might be satisfied with his life. It’s just the fact that everyone uses his advantage in life to collect the opportunities that they’re giving. I see no wrong doing in what the rich man is doing he’s business and he’s taking good care of it, economists will also see no wrong doing in what the rich man is doing in a sense he’s morally supporting the system without taxes and businesses there would be no schools, roads, social security pension etc, without him unemployment rate will sky rock. A bit of track but let’s say this incident happened in America. We are allergic to our believes or morals whatever suits you just do it and forget about the morals of ethics and so on arguably there’s no role of power play here…
