“Thus those reformers, who look for a remedy by creating artificial carrying-costs for the money through the device of requiring legal-tender currency to be periodically stamped at a prescribed cost in order to retain its quality as money, or in analogous ways, have been on the right track; and the practical value of their proposals deserves consideration.” WayLooksHas BeensValuesOrderQualityCostCreatingDeserveTrackPracticalsConsiderationDevicesArtificialRemedyCurrencyProposalReformersRight Track Author:John Maynard Keynes
“From where I sit I see the digital cinema creating sloppiness on the part of filmmakers because they know if they really get in trouble they can fix it later.

“What I can say now about paid DLC is that we aren't working on anything at the moment. We've put all our efforts into making the actual game.

“The laws of thermodynamics restrict all technologies, man's as well as nature's, and apply to all economic systems whether capitalist, communist, socialist, or fascist. We do not create or destroy (produce or consume) anything in a physical sense- we merely transform or rearrange. And the inevitable cost of arranging greater order in one part of the system (the human economy) is creating a more than offsetting amount of disorder elsewhere (the natural environment).” MenHumansWellsLawOrderNaturalTechnologyEconomyEnvironmentGreaterEconomicProduceAmountCostCreatingInevitableCommunistDisorderCapitalistElsewhereSocialistFascistsNatural EnvironmentEconomic SystemsArrangingThermodynamics Author:Herman E.

“Highly graduate taxation realizes most completely the supreme danger of democracy, creating a state of things in which one class imposes on another burdens which it is not asked to share, and impels the State into vast schemes of extravagance, under the belief that the whole costs will be thrown upon others.” StatesWholeBeliefRealizingClassDemocracyShareDangerCostCreatingBurdenSupremeThrownGraduatesSchemesTaxationExtravagance Author:William Edward Hartpole Lecky
“The companies that provide debt, what do you think their goal is? Is their goal for you to fully understand the cost of your debt? No. So they're basically creating these approaches to make you feel like it is incredibly cheap or just to think about the cost per day rather the cost per year or cost for a lifetime. So debt is very simple mistake.” ThinkingFeelsYearsGoalSimpleMistakeCompanyCostApproachCreatingLifetimeDebt Author:Dan Ariely
“If you want a cow to be not just a cow but a milk machine, you can do a very good job at that by creating new hormones like the Bovine Growth Hormone. It might make the cow very ill, it might turn it into a drug addict, and it might even create consumer scares about the health and safety aspects of the milk. But we've gotten so used to manipulating objects and organisms and ecosystems for a single objective that we ignore the costs involved. I call this the "monoculture of the mind."” IfsWantMindMightJobsUsedTurnsGrowthCan DoObjectsInvolvedCostDrugCreatingAspectMachinesSafetyVery GoodIllObjectivesConsumersScareMilkCowsOrganismsAddictGood JobEcosystemsHormonesDrug AddictHealth And SafetyMonocultureBovineGrowth Hormones Author:Vandana Shiva
