“Where would tourism be without a little luxury and a taste of night life? There were several cities on Deanna, all moderate in size, but the largest was the capital, Atro City. For the connoisseur of fast-foods, Albrechts’ famous hotdogs and coldcats were sold fresh from his stall (Albrecht’s Takeaways) on Lupini Square. For the sake of his own mental health he had temporarily removed Hot Stuff Blend from the menu. The city was home to Atro City University, which taught everything from algebra and make-up application to advanced stamp collecting; and it was also home to the planet-famous bounty hunter – Beck the Badfeller. Beck was a legend in his own lifetime. If Deanna had any folklore, then Beck the Badfeller was one of its main features. He was the local version of Robin Hood, the Davy Crockett of Deanna. The Local rumor mill had it he was so good he could find the missing day in a leap year. Once, so the story goes, he even found a missing sock.”

“Plan the number of hours each day you’ll spend on your dreams, the kind of people you’ll love to connect with, the amount of capital you’ll want to invest and the sources of help you are required to get. Make a plan.”

“Such a crises occurs only where the ever-lengthening chain of payments, and an artificial system of settling them, has been fully developed. Whenever there is a general and extensive disturbance of this mechanism, no matter what its cause, money becomes suddenly and immediately transformed from its merely ideal shape of money of account into hard cash. Profane commodities can no longer replace it. The use-value of commodities becomes valueless, and their value vanishes in the presence of its own independent form. On the eve of the crisis, the bourgeois, with the self-sufficiency that springs from intoxicating prosperity, declares money to be a vain imagination. Commodities alone are money. But now the cry is everywhere that money alone is a commodity! As the hart pants after fresh water, so pants his soul after money, the only wealth.”

“Permaculture economics is a new and novel sustainable framework that integrates permaculture principles with capitalist fundamentals. It prioritizes wealth cultivation, ecological harmony, sustainability, and efficient capital use, encouraging businesses to operate ethically and responsibly. This approach seeks a balance between economic growth, wealth equity, and environmental sustainability, promoting a regenerative and harmonious economic system.”

“Together we create the world we inhabit. Yet if any one of us tried to imagine a world we'd like to live in, who would come up with on exactly like the one that currently exists? We can all imagine a better world. Why can't we just create one? Why does it seem so inconceivable to just stop making capitalism? Of government? Or at the very least bad service providers and annoying bureaucratic red tape?”

“The democratic petty bourgeois, far from wanting to transform the whole society in the interests of the revolutionary proletarians, only aspire to make the existing society as tolerable for themselves as possible. ... The rule of capital is to be further counteracted, partly by a curtailment of the right of inheritance, and partly by the transference of as much employment as possible to the state. As far as the workers are concerned one thing, above all, is definite: they are to remain wage labourers as before. However, the democratic petty bourgeois want better wages and security for the workers; in short, they hope to bribe the workers ...”

“The Luddites knew exactly who owned the machinery they destroyed. They saw that automation is not a faceless phenomenon that we must submit to. And they were right: Automation is, quite often and quite simply, a matter of the executive classes locating new ways to enrich themselves.”

“The biggest reason that the last two hundred years have seen a series of conflicts between the employers who deploy technology and workers forced to navigate that technology is that we are still subject to what is, ultimately, a profoundly undemocratic means of developing, introducing, and integrating technology into society.”

“The graver evils of the capitalist system all arise from its uneven distribution of power. The possessors of capital wield an influence quite out of proportion to their numbers or their services to the community. They control almost the whole of education and the press; they decide what the average man shall know or not know”

“—El dinero. ¿Qué es el dinero? Bienes de consumo en forma de pura fantasía. —Un asentimiento solemne de la cabeza, el ceño repentinamente fruncido, un suspiro-. No me gustan los marxistas, ya lo sabes. Ni su Estado ni su dictadura. Ni su forma de hablar, con esas explicaciones en bloque, reduciendo el mundo a un argumento único. Igual que la religión. No, no me gustan los marxistas. Pero Marx... —Y volvía a poner aquella cara, como si lo estuviera torturando una visión demasiado hermosa—. Tenía razón en una cosa. El dinero es una mercancía fantástica. Una fantasía. Ni lo puedes comer ni te abriga, pero representa toda la comida y toda la ropa del mundo. Por eso es una ficción. Y eso mismo lo convierte en el patrón con el que valoramos todas las mercancías. ¿Qué comporta eso? Pues que el dinero se convierte en el bien de consumo universal. Pero recuerda: el dinero es una ficción; bienes de consumo en forma de pura fantasía, ¿entiendes? Y eso es doblemente cierto en el caso del capital financiero. Las acciones, los valores, los bonos. ¿Crees que alguna de las cosas que compran y venden esos bandidos del otro lado del río representan algún valor real y concreto? No, para nada. Las acciones, los valores bursátiles y toda esa porquería no son más que promesas de un valor futuro. Así pues, si el dinero es una ficción, el capital financiero es la ficción de una ficción. Con eso comercian todos esos criminales: con ficciones.”

“Ultimately, ESG is about wise capital stewardship. The expectation is that we wisely steward environmental capital, financial capital and human capital, as well as other forms of capital. If we understand that capital comes in all these various forms, and approach that capital with the spirit of stewardship and the know-how of stewardship, we will in effect be ESG compliant.”

“When architecture is viewed from a capital stewardship perspective, we see that the architect can have a beneficial impact on how vital resources are utilized. Right from the beginning of the design process, the architects choices have the power to influence forests, factories, jobs, land use, community dynamics and so much more. When these things are viewed as capital, and the process of appropriating them is approached with a spirit of stewardship, all of these things are influenced for better instead of for worse. And this results in multiplicative value effects.”

“Nothing was further from the mind of the original middle classes than any conception of the rights of man and citizen. Personal liberty itself was not claimed as a natural right. It was sought only for the advantages it conferred. This is so true that at Arras, for example, merchants tried to have themselves classed as serfs of the monastery of St. Vast in order to enjoy the exemption from the market-tolls which had been accorded to the latter.”
