“There can be no return to prosperity while the government (of Ontario) believes that taking money from the people who have earned it and giving it away to the people who haven't, in exchange for their votes and regardless of merit, is the essence of fairness.” PeopleGivingBelieveGovernmentHavensReturnCapitalismEssenceVoteProsperityMeritFairnessOntario Author:Conrad Black
“Capitalism cannot be reduced to one or a few features, but it does possess one relationship, central to its existence and operation, that constitutes the essence of inequality and ineradicable instability: the wage-labor-capital connection that dwells at the heart of the system.” HeartDoeExistenceCapitalismLaborConnectionsEssenceInequalityFeaturesOperationsInstability Author:Herbert Schiller
“The essence of capitalism is expressed in two of its basic features: a) profit maximization and b) market competition.

“The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many.

“The very essence of capitalism is under threat as business is now seen as a personal wealth accumulator. We have to bring this world back to sanity and put the greater good ahead of self-interest.
