“We know that the only alternative to private competition is government monopoly of enterprise. We know that when government monopolizes production, distribution, and employment, it is no longer the servant of men - it is their master. And, therefore, we know that economic liberty and political liberty are inseparable parts of the same ball of wax - that we must keep them both, or we shall lose them both.” KnowsMenWisdomGovernmentPoliticalPoliticsLosesLibertyEconomyEconomicMastersBallsCompetitionProductionsEmploymentAlternativesServantLiberalismEnterpriseDistributionMonopolyInseparable Author:Benjamin Franklin Fairless
“Broadly speaking, Keynesianism means that the government has a specific responsibility for the behavior of the economy, that it doesn't work on its own autonomous course, but the government, when there's a recession, compensates by employment, by expansion of purchasing power, and in boom times corrects by being a restraining force. But it controls the great flow of demand into the economy, what since Keynesian times has been the flow of aggregate demand. That was the basic idea of Keynes so far as one can put it in a couple of sentences.” MeanHas BeensIdeasGovernmentCoursesForceResponsibilityEconomyCoupleDemandBehaviorEconomicsFlowSentencesEmploymentExpansionRecessionsAutonomousPurchasingRestrainingKeynesPurchasing PowerKeynesianism Author:John Kenneth Galbraith

“In the days of Ram Mohan Roy when English education was introduced in this country, the Mahomedans did not accept it... They did not accept English education and at the same time they were divorced from the culture which their fathers had advanced. The result was that whereas the Hindus got on in life, got into government employment, got many things which people value in life, the Mahomedans were left without it and gradually there came to be a sort of estrangement between the two nationalities at the time of the Swadeshi movement.” PeopleTwoCountryGovernmentValuesCultureFatherLeftResultsAcceptingMovementEmploymentDivorcedNationalityValue Of LifeEstrangementRamsEnglish Education Author:Chittaranjan Das
