“Monopolies, oligarchy, the striving for domination and not for freedom, the exploitation of an increasing number of small or weak nations by a handful of the richest or most powerful nations -- all these have given birth to those distinctive characteristics of imperialism which compel us to define it as parasitic or decaying capitalism.” GivenNationsPowerfulNumbersBirthCapitalismWeakStriveCharacteristicsMost PowerfulExploitationImperialismDominationMonopolyHandfulDistinctiveOligarchy Author:Vladimir Lenin
“The successful sale of British Telecom... reveals a vast and untapped yearning among ordinary people for a direct stake in the ownership of British enterprise. Investment in shares has begun to take its place, with ownership of a home and either a bank or building society deposit, as a way for ordinary people to participate in enterprise and wealth creation. We are seeing the birth of people's capitalism.” PeopleWayHomeWealthSuccessfulSeeingShareCreationBuildingBirthOrdinaryCapitalismDirectInvestmentBritishEnterpriseStakesYearningOwnershipOrdinary PeopleWealth CreationDepositsTelecom Author:Nigel Lawson

And these people were the pioneers at a moment where there really were no rules, then suddenly there was a legal industry that was allowed to exist.” PeopleMomentsBirthCapitalismLabourPornographyWire Author:David Simon
