When this book was first published at the end of the seventies, many people thought that the differences between the rich and the poor would decrease as they hoped for an egalitarian future.

When this book was first published at the end of the 70s, many people believed that the differences between the rich and the poor would decrease as they dreamed of an egalitarian future. Quite the contrary, in recent years these differences have accentuated. There are those who own exaggeratedly luxurious cars, yachts the size of a house, and houses that look like palaces (and everything still seems small to them!), while there are many other people without decent housing conditions and suffer great hardships in order to survive. What do our young readers think about all this?
