“For all its apparent tolerance, the USA maintains a peculiar balance between the forces of capitalism and democracy. To achieve this I feel sure the country is guided by some hidden force; an organization working in secrecy, powerful enough to dispose of the Kennedys and of anyone else who gets in its way.” WayFeelsCountryEnoughForcePowerfulDemocracyAchieveBalanceCapitalismOrganizationToleranceUsaPeculiarSecrecy Author:Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
“It is largely dissynchronous timing standards that have kept human beings off-balance and alienated from the natural cycles of the Earth they inhabit. The worst culprit is the Gregorian calendar, and by extension the "12:60 frequency" that it fosters - together these have become, in essence, the inescapable time clock of globalist capitalism.” HumansEarthTogetherPeaceNaturalHuman BeingsWorstBalanceStandardsCapitalismEssenceClockCyclesTimingExtensionsFrequencyCalendarsCulpritTime Clock Author:Jose Arguelles
“We have to accept that capitalism is coming to an end. We can't provide paid employment for people, all the industries with technology are counter-intuitive to profit, and we have to have a transition to the conceptualist society. The only way to do it fairly is as a social democracy, a radical social democracy, which isn't compromised by neo-liberalism and isn't compromised by the rich, and isn't compromised by hegemonic, authoritarian interests: to have that balance between the government, the private sector, and then the individual citizens again.” PeopleWayEndsGovernmentIndividualSocialInterestAcceptingTechnologyDemocracyRichIndustryBalanceCitizensCapitalismPaidProfitEmploymentRadicalLiberalismTransitionIntuitivePrivate SectorComing To An EndSocial Democracy Author:Irvine Welsh

“Capitalism is the best way of organizing economic activity for a lot of reasons. It unlocks a higher fraction of human potential, it balances supply and demand, it's more consistent with higher levels of freedom. But the way we're pursuing it now, focuses on such short-term horizons, that a lot of businesses and investors are tempted to look at investments in terms of what's gonna happen in the next 90 days, what's gonna happen in one year. But the old phrase, "Good things take time," is true of successful businesses as well.” ReasonTermSuccessfulEconomicBalanceCapitalismGood ThingsInvestmentConsistentInvestorsTake TimeSuccessful BusinessHuman Potential Author:Al Gore
“The bureaucratic nature of both capitalism and our government assures us that there are no checks and balances when it comes to justifying any and all behavior that either makes money and secures the supposed peace of the nation-state.” BalanceBehaviorCapitalismMaking Money Author:Tripp York
“Today's consumers are eager to become loyal fans of companies that respect purposeful capitalism. They are not opposed to companies making a profit; indeed, they may even be investors in these companies - but at the core, they want more empathic, enlightened corporations that seek a balance between profit and purpose.” WantMayTodayPurposeCompanyFansBalanceCapitalismProfitCoreConsumersCorporationsEnlightenedInvestorsLoyalLoyal Fans Book:We First: How Brands and Consumers Use Social Media to Build a Better World Source: We First: How Brands and Consumers Use Social Media to Build a Better World
