Man’s Fate, Part II (Personal Commentary)

Ferral: An Opposing Force

Financial intellect, arrogance, nepotism, and diversification are the opposing forces that embody the President of the French Chamber of Commerce and leader of the Franco-Asiatic Consortium. Malraux’s prototype: the ultimate self-seeking capitalist is the counter-ideological force of the revolution. Ferral’s “insolence,” “indifference,” and “domineering” style becomes Malraux’s model for the “means and mode of production.”
