Summary: This a chapter about the bigger picture. It talks about how when the people first came to settle in California they were just wanting land, and they would do anything to get it, including taking control of all the Mexican natives and driving them out of their own land. Then farms and the demand for crops grew and it became a major industry. Now as the new settlers are coming to California, they have the same desires for land. However, now few hold the land and you aren’t allowed to farm even on a small strip of land without getting charged with trespassing. Hoovervilles where burned down for being a threat to the peoples health. Parents and children pay for food, but then the parents decide to stop praying and actually do something about it.

People vs. “Moloch”
