“Every effort therefore must be made to perpetuate prosperity. And, since that is to the advantage of the rich as well as the poor, all that accrues from the revenues should be collected into a single fund and distributed in block grants to those in need, if possible in lump sums large enough for the acquisition of a small piece of land, but if not, enough to start a business, or work in agriculture. And if that cannot be done for all, the distribution might be by tribes or some other division each in turn.” IfsNeedsShouldWellsMadeDoneEnoughMightTurnsPoliticsPoorEffortEconomyRichPiecesLandAdvantageProsperityBlockLiberalismFundGrantsDivisionAgricultureTribesDistributionRevenueAcquisitionLumpsThose In NeedSmall Pieces Author:Aristotle
“Tools may be animate as well as inanimate; for instance, a ship's captain uses a lifeless rudder, but a living man for watch; for a servant is, from the point of view of his craft, categorized as one of its tools. So any piece of property can be regarded as a tool enabling a man to live, and his property is an assemblage of such tools; a slave is a sort of living piece of property; and like any other servant is a tool in charge of other tools.” MenWellsMayUsePoliticsViewsWatchesEconomyPiecesToolsPropertySlavePoint Of ViewShipsInstanceCraftsServantLiberalismCaptainsEnablingLifelessRuddersAssemblage Author:Aristotle

“There's only one honest way to measure affluence; that's by comparing the capability of producing goods and services with the desire of people to enjoy them. It's a lousy, crooked trick to compare this society with China or some such place and then say we're affluent. It's a piece of intellectual crookery even to compare this economy with itself ten or twenty years ago. We should compare what we have with what we could have.” PeopleWayShouldYearsWisdomDesirePoliticsEnjoyEconomyPiecesHonestTenIntellectualYears AgoTwentiesChinaTricksCompareLiberalismGoodsCapabilityCrookedAffluenceThis SocietyAffluentGoods And Services Author:Louis O.

“Government has the responsibility to provide the climate in which Americans, all Americans, have an opportunity for good jobs; and not only for good jobs, but an opportunity if they have the ability and the desire, to be owners and managers, to have a piece of the action, because if they have a piece of the action, then they believe in the system rather than fighting against it.” IfsBelieveWisdomGovernmentActionJobsDesireFightingOpportunityPoliticsAbilityResponsibilityEconomyPiecesClimateManagersLiberalismOwnersGood Job Author:Richard M.

“How do we create beauty in a broken world? How do we create a view of sustainability in an economy that is crashing?

“Most screenplays, most motion pictures, owe much more to the screenplay. Ingmar Bergman has such an economy of language, so little language in his piece, it is so visual, his moods are introduced and buttressed by camera rather than by word or character. But again, that's unique.” LittlesCharacterLanguageEconomyPiecesUniqueCamerasMoodVisualsScreenplaysMotion PicturesBergman Author:Rod Serling
