Reflection Paper Eleven- The Logic of Collective Action

"The remaining type of group is the unorganized group-the group that has no lobby and takes no action. Groups of this kind fit the main argument of this book best of all. They illustrate its central point: that large or latent groups have no tendency voluntarily to act to further their common interests."

Here Olson talks about groups who suffer probably more then any other group, yet they are the ones that are "Forgotten". I thought it was very important to use this quote because even though this book was written 50 years ago , it still applies. So many interest groups are receiving help and attention that they don't need because they can simply afford to make to commotion about it. Where groups that need it most (he gave the example of immigrant farm workers), suffer greatly but have no lobby and can take no action.
