I agree with Ali because the world would be far less developed than it is at this moment, had it not been for books and literacy. I believe that we undervalue our ability as American citizens to obtain access to education and literacy. There are millions of people who wish to be in our positions while we wish to be rid of the thought of academic work.
I also like how Ali talks about the churches in that time period. Catholicism was as powerful and the government at the time and even more influential considering they could trick people into giving their hard earned money to the churches. Thank goodness for Gutenberg and Martin Luther and anyone who gave power back to the people.
