Question

Philosophy

Thrasymachus has two over all arguments.  The first is that justice is the interest of the stonger; justice is whatever the powerful say it is.  The second is more personal: injustice is more profitable than justice (although no one was supposed to use the word profitable.)  The idea is that it is better to cheat and get away with it, while doing the right thing puts you at a disadvantage.  Here's the question.  Is there any truth in what Thrasymachus says?
