When I read it in my preteen youth in the early 80s it was in the "children's section" of our local library in podunk Georgia.
Precisely how they like it. Intellectuals drive change which is anathema to the party of stagnation.

No, you're the product. They're selling your data and viewing time to their customers.
Money always trumps morality at those levels.
Conservatives: Lazy welfare queens and druggies! They just don't want to work! They chose to be this way! They should all be arrested and/or executed.
Progressives: throws money vaguely in that direction without direction Look we're helping! We're doing all we can.
Leftists: This is the fault of the capitalist system run by an ownership class!
Those of us who've been homeless or near homeless and those genuinely dedicated to helping the homeless: We need a comprehensive approach that takes all the challenges that cause homelessness into account and addresses them as a whole and in a meaningful way to create a long term sustainable solution.
Conservatives, Progressives, and Leftists to us: Shut the fuck up! What do you know about any of this? We'll figure it out! Now shut the fuck up!
We absolutely will not be shipping containers of food to Mars.
We absolutely will be. You have no concept of the amount of energy and resources needed to feed a single human being on Earth for one meal, let alone a whole colony on another world without a breathable atmosphere and possibly toxic dirt for an indeterminate time. Farming under the best of conditions is extremely energy consuming, then there's the need to either import hardware from Earth that is specially made for Mars or go old fashion and do a lot of it by hand. There is no where else in the solar system where you can just throw seeds at the ground in large enough quantities and feed whole cities. I do homesteading, my dad tried to be totally self sufficient foodwise when I was a teen. Guess what? Turns out that's really, really hard to do. And that's under the ideal conditions of Earth.
That's where they get you.
I've been hearing this "we need a new renaissance" spiel since the 80s. It really sounds like "I've got no ideas, so I'll distract with mentioning a time that is revered for it." to me nowadays.
That's all you need to ask. And the answer will always be yes.
Most of the time this is yes, but not always. Sometimes they exploit people just because they can or it's just the way they've always done things. Those are the really disturbing ones. Exploiting for profit we can all understand even if we find it revolting, but we have a problem understanding when it happens because no one ever said anything or "it's just always how we did it" or some other such reason.
