“There is a story of some mountains of salt in Cumana, which never diminished, though carried away in much abundance by merchants; but when once they were monopolized to the benefit of a private purse, then the salt decreased; till afterward all were allowed to take of it, when it had a new access and increase. The truth of this story may be uncertain, but the application is true; he that envies others the use of his gifts decays then, but he thrives most that is most diffusive.” MayStoriesUseMountainBenefitsIncreaseEnvyAccessGenerosityAbundanceThriveApplicationSaltDecayUncertainPursesMerchantsCarried Away Author:Herbert Spencer

“There was a time traditionally - say, GM in the 1950s - it was trying to develop a consumer base that would be loyal and lasting and they were thinking in terms of an institution that would remain and grow and thrive in the society.

That's a new stage of capitalism.” ThinkingTryingWould BeGrowsTermStageHugeBenefitsCapitalismInstitutionsInvestmentConsumersFirmThriveFundLastingLoyalBankersHedge Fund Author:Noam Chomsky
