From a comment by Daetrin on a Slashdot article on how Craigslist hasn't sold out:
I just finished re-reading "The Door Into Summer" by Robert Heinlein and I'm reminded of the part where the main character's business partners are trying to force him out of so they can sell the company to a big corporation. He says something along the lines of "You can't use more than one swimming pool or more than one yacht at a time, and you'll have both in another year with the way we're doing business now so why should we sell out to another company and put them in charge?" But his partners are intent on having more money and power than they can actually use, just for the sake of money and power.

I want to read that book, now. Not because I expect it to be amazingly well-written and provocative (it could be, but I can't say I expect it), but because the love of money and the unreasoning pursuit of power are two root causes of most problems I see in society.
