“The cloud is driven by statistics, and even in the worst individual cases of personal ignorance, dullness, idleness, or irrelevance, every person is constantly feeding data into the cloud these days. The value of such information could be treated as genuine, but it is not. Instead, the blindness of our standards of accounting to all that value is gradually breaking capitalism.” PersonsValuesIndividualCasesWorstInformationIgnoranceStandardsCapitalismCloudsDrivenGenuineTreatedDataThese DaysStatisticsBlindnessFeedingIdlenessAccountingDullnessIrrelevance Book:Who Owns the Future?

“The genius of capitalism lies in its ability to make self-interest serve the wider interest. The potential of a big financial return for innovation unleashes a broad set of talented people in pursuit of many different discoveries.

“We know that global capitalism, and the commercially driven culture that comes with it, can be a powerful solvent, but many of us who benefit from it economically can regret the effect it has on our own lives as well as on the lives of others, and we should not view ourselves as helpless in the face of an irresistible force, especially since we may very well be complicit. We should be prepared to help others or to leave them be to sustain their cultures if we judge that they are of intrinsic value or of value to their members.” HelpingValuesCulturePowerfulJudgingRegretCapitalismDrivenHelping OthersHelplessBe PreparedIrresistibleLives Of Others Author:David Wong
“In a time in which Communist regimes have been rightfully discredited and yet alternatives to neoliberal capitalist societies are unwisely dismissed, I defend the fundamental claim of Marxist theory: there must be countervailing forces that defend people's needs against the brutality of profit driven capitalism.” PeopleNeedsHas BeensForceTheoryCapitalismClaimsFundamentalsProfitDrivenAlternativesCommunistCapitalistRegimesBrutalityMarxistMarxist Theory Author:Cornel West
“The main propoganda trick of supporters of the allegedly "progressive" policy of government control is to blame capitalism for all that is unsatisfactory in present-day conditions and to extol the blessings of socialism. They have never attempted to prove their fallacious dogmas, all they did was to call their adversaries names and cast suspicion upon their motives. And, unfortunately, the average citizen cannot see through these stratagems. The liars must be afraid of the truth and are therefore driven to suppress its pronouncement.” PhilosophyGovernmentPoliticalNamesConditionsPolicyCitizensBlessingProveCapitalismEconomicsBlameAverageCastsDrivenTricksSocialismMotiveLiarsProgressiveDogmaSuspicionSupporterAdversariesPresent DayStratagem Author:Ludwig von Mises

“I truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit.
