- We are, however, in danger of ignoring the more fundamental lessons, forgetting the imperative to root out and to curb within our societies at every level—most importantly that of the individual—the greed, avarice, corruption and hubris which has wrought and will wreak so much havoc, not just in our relatively rich countries, but has its impact most unfairly on the poorer, unsophisticated countries.

Usage notes
- In contemporary English, wrought is usually not interchangeable with worked, the more common past and past participle of work.
- While wrought usually lends a more archaic flavor, it is still fairly common in certain transitive constructions, e.g. in to work miracles.
- Because the phrase work havoc has become uncommon, its past tense wrought havoc is now sometimes misinterpreted as being a past tense of wreak havoc.
