Final Word

This week's Final Word comes from an art critic who had a novel view:

"Capitalism survives by forcing the majority, whom it exploits, to define their own interests as narrowly as possible. This was once achieved by extensive deprivation. Today in the developed countries it is being achieved by imposing a false standard of what is and what is not desirable."

The winner of last week's competition, who identified What is Life? by Erwin Schrodinger, is Chris Carmichael of South Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne.
