...Thompson, Hobsbawm and some others have turned attention to the "people at the bottom." They do not treat working people, peasants, or the "lower classes" as a necessary and incumbent labor force or as the passive victims of prevailing policy.

...benefits expected from vampire control are manifold: a marked decrease in outbreaks of both human and animal rabies and other infections carried by the bats; an increase in the weight of beef cattle, and a comparable increase in milk production-for a cow that is being bled by vampires may yield only 20 quarts of milk a day as against a normal 30.
