Summary

This quote suggests that it is beneficial for a tyrant to keep their subjects impoverished because it prevents them from having the time or resources to revolt against the oppressive regime. By keeping the people focused on meeting their basic needs and surviving day-to-day, the tyrant can maintain control and power without fearing rebellion. The quote highlights how poverty can be used as a tool to manipulate and suppress the population, allowing the tyrant to maintain their authority without significant opposition from the oppressed masses.
