“The Internet has taken shape with startlingly little planning? The most universal and indispensable network on the planet somehow burgeoned without so muchasa boardofdirectors, never minda mergers-and- acquisitions department. There is a paradoxical lesson here for strategists. In economic terms, the great corporations are acting like socialist planners, while old- fashioned free-market capitalism blossoms at their feet.” LittlesTermActingTakenFeetEconomicPlanetsInternetLessonsShapesCapitalismUniversalPlanningCorporationsDepartmentSocialistIndispensableOld FashionedFree MarketAcquisitionParadoxicalStrategistPlannersMergersFree Market CapitalismMergers And Acquisitions Author:James Gleick

“What does a man need - really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all - in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention from the sheer idiocy of the charade.

“The final goal of world revolution is not socialism, or even communism, it is not a change in the present economic system, it is not the destruction of civilization in a material sense. The revolution desired by the leaders is moral and spiritual, it is an anarchy of ideas in which all the bases established nineteen centuries ago shall be overthrown, all the honored traditions trodden under foot, and, above all, the Christian ideal finally obliterated.” WorldIdeasChristianSpiritualGoalLeaderMoralFeetEconomicCenturyMaterialsRevolutionCivilizationIdealsTraditionDestructionBasesFinalsJewSocialismCommunismAnarchyHonoredEconomic SystemsNineteen Author:Leon V.

“Trump can, like every government, trigger a short boom with borrowed money, just like he has announced.

“Getting the economy back on its feet is properly viewed as an investment in future prosperity. When businesses and consumers confront attractive investment opportunities, often the only way to seize them is by borrowing. The same is true for government. Contrary to the pronouncements of critics of economic stimulus, these investments will not impoverish our grandchildren. Continuing to allow the economy to languish in recession is the surest way to impoverish them.” WayGovernmentOpportunityEconomyFeetEconomicInvestmentCriticsProsperityContraryConsumersAttractiveContinuingGrandchildrenStimulusRecessionsBorrowingLanguishFuture Prosperity Author:Robert H.

“It's just the banks who are the latest target of the American socialist left. There is a war on the entirety of the private sector. It is the private sector that employs most of you, that services most of you, that creates the economic prosperity that our nation has enjoyed - and there is a war on that private sector, and it's being waged from the Oval Office, and its foot soldiers are on Wall Street and in other cities around the country.” WarCountryLeftNationsCitiesFeetEconomicStreetsWallOfficeSoldierProsperityEnjoyedTargetSocialistPrivate SectorEntiretyOvalEconomic Prosperity Author:Rush Limbaugh
“The first time I went to West Virginia I was surprised by how poor it was. It was like north India, there's kids running around in bare feet. The white working class has been disenfranchised as well. It's been disenfranchised by the liberal-left as well as the conservative-right.
