Albert Jay Nock - The picture which Isaiah presents of...
The picture which Isaiah presents of the Judean masses is most unfavorable. In his view, the mass-man - be he high or be he lowly, rich or poor, prince or pauper - gets off very badly. He appears as not only weak-minded and weak-willed, but as by consequence knavish, arrogant, grasping, dissipated, unprincipled, unscrupulous. The mass-woman also gets off badly, as sharing all the mass-man's untoward qualities, and contributing a few of her own in the way of vanity and laziness, extravagance and foible. (Albert Jay Nock)
