We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Here is a problem for you to try: can you make the target number of 555 from the numbers 75, 100, 50, 25, 1 and 7 (using each number only once and using only the four operations add, subtract, multiply and divide?)
