“Organized business has assumed that greater profits would be pretty much of a cure-all, and it has to a major extent ignored the fact that the welfare of business rests upon the welfare of the consumers of a nation; that business or free enterprise will function in a democracy only so long as the democracy functions.” LongFactsWould BeNationsDemocracyGreaterMajorsFunctionProfitCuresConsumersWelfareOrganizedEnterpriseIgnoredFree Enterprise Author:Saul Alinsky
“The basic struggle today is not between individualism and collectivism, free enterprise and socialism, democracy and dictatorship. These are only the superficial manifestations of a deeper struggle which is moral and spiritual and involves above all else whether man shall exist for the state, or the state for man, and whether freedom is of the spirit or a concession of a materialized society.” MenStatesWisdomTodaySpiritualSpiritPoliticsMoralStruggleEconomyDemocracyDeeperSocialismManifestationLiberalismEnterpriseIndividualismDictatorshipSuperficialCollectivismFree EnterpriseConcessions Author:Fulton J.

“All deductions having been made, democracy has done less harm, and more good, than any other form of government. It gave to human existence a zest and camaraderie that outweighed its pitfalls and defects. It gave to thought and science and enterprise the freedom essential to their operation and growth. It broke down the walls of privilege and class, and in each generation it raised up ability from every rank and place.” HumansMadeDoneGovernmentFormGrowthAbilityExistenceClassDemocracyGenerationsWallEssentialsRaisedPrivilegeHarmBrokeOperationsEnterpriseDefectsHuman ExistenceForms Of GovernmentDemocracies HaveDeductionsCamaraderieZestPitfalls Book:The Lessons of History Source: The Lessons of History

“The great multinationals are unwilling to face the moral and economic contradictions of their own behavior - producing in low-wage dictatorships and selling to high-wage democracies. Indeed, the striking quality about global enterprises is how easily free-market capitalism puts aside its supposed values in order to do business. The conditions of human freedom do not matter to them so long as the market demand is robust. The absence of freedom, if anything, lends order and efficiency to their operations.” IfsHumansLongMatterFacesValuesOrderQualityMoralDemocracyEconomicConditionsDemandBehaviorLowsCapitalismAbsenceSellingOperationsEnterpriseContradictionDictatorshipEfficiencyFree MarketUnwillingRobustHuman FreedomMultinationalsFree Market Capitalism Author:William Greider
“I am not one who, to quote an American author, believes that democracy and enterprise have finally won the battle of ideas - that we have therefore arrived at the end of history, and there is nothing left to fight for. That would be unutterably complacent, indeed foolish.

“Say the Pentagon Papers, - that material went much deeper. It went into internal government planning back for twenty - five years. Those are things that the public should have known about.
