At the mines, there are not a lot of government regulations or even control since it was so easy for anyone to buy diamonds off diggers: “The diggers sold the diamonds to government-licensed buying agents or to various hustlers, smugglers and loan sharks who stood around the mines wearing poker faces, ready to deal” (IP 118). Because of this it has made the rich richer and the poor remain poor. With these kinds of control, the poor remain blanketed on why they remain so poor and continue following the companies who buy their materials.

Freston wrote that President Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage”.…
