The problem with people like Farmer is that you can't replicate them into an system that survives them.

Now you sound like that hobgoblin of conservative thought, a Marxist. In my world, they are the folk who say you shouldn't do what Farmers does.

I understand "Quicksilver" is a very long read.

Around 900 pages. And I've heard that it's meant to be the first volume of a trilogy.

Dr. Farmer has overlooked Cuba's dismal human rights record, in favor of noting that Cuba is proof that government can provide health care for the poor. "If I could turn Haiti into Cuba, I'd do it in a minute," he said

Classic cheap shot.
