The book challenged accepted wisdom in Olson’s day that: # if everyone in a group (of any size) has interests in common, then they will act collectively to achieve them; and # in a democracy, the greatest concern is that the majority will tyrannize and exploit the minority. The book argues instead that individuals in any group attempting collective action will have incentives to "free ride" on the efforts of others if the group is working to provide public goods. Individuals will not "free ride" in groups that provide benefits only to active participants. Pure public goods are goods that are non-excludable (i.e. one person cannot reasonably prevent another from consuming the good) and non- rivalrous (one person’s consumption of the good does not affect another’s, nor vice versa).
In letters like this she doesn't mince her words and vent her heart when Monsieur's favorites in the Palais Royal tyrannize her or the hatred she had for Madame de Maintenon. She knew that the Cabinet noir opened her letters to copy critical passages and translate them; hence, she sometimes even incorporated derisive remarks addressed directly to the government, particularly to her favorite enemy, Foreign Secretary Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Marquess of Torcy.

Her biographer Dirk Van der Cruysse says: "Had Madame lived in our time, she would have spent her days on the phone".

Javanese-Indonesian language at Wikisource When Japan occupied the Dutch East Indies, in the first weeks of 1942, Indonesians came down in the streets shouting out to the Japanese army as the fulfillment of the prophecy ascribed to Joyoboyo, who foretold the day when white men would one day establish their rule on Java and tyrannize the people for hundreds years – but they would be driven out by the arrival of yellow men from the north. These yellow dwarfs, Joyoboyo had predicted, would remain for one crop cycle, and after that Java would be freed from foreign domination. To most of the Javanese, Japan was a liberator: the prophecy had been fulfilled.
