“Certain management policies-stretching of credit resources, for example-may lead to great progress in good conditions; but, like the Grand Prix car in comparison with the Land Rover, they may not be robust enough to survive when the going gets tough.” MayEnoughCertainProgressLandConditionsCarPolicyExampleToughResourcesManagementCreditComparisonStretchingRobustGoing Gets ToughGrand PrixGreat Progress Author:Anthony Stafford Beer
“Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order: there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.” PeopleTwoEndsOrderEvilSoundProgressReturnInvestmentInvestingCreditCurrencyStrictBankingSpeculationAdequateProvisionSupervisionResumption Author:Franklin D.

“It is the people who constitute the basis of Government credit. Why then cannot the people have benefit of their own gilt-edge credit by receiving non-interest bearing currency-instead of bankers receiving the benefit of the people's credit in interest-bearing bonds. If the United States Government will adopt this policy of increasing its national wealth without contributing to the interest collector-for the whole national debt is made up on interest charges-then you will see an era of progress and prosperity in this country such as could never have come otherwise.” PeopleIfsMadeCountryStatesWholeGovernmentInterestWealthUnitedUnited StatesProgressPolicyBenefitsBasesEdgesProsperityCreditDebtErasReceivingCurrencyBankersCollectorsContributingState GovernmentNational DebtUnited States Government Author:Thomas A.

“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it's more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.” Has BeensCoursesEducationStepsCasesProgressExampleOrganizationUniversalPaidCreditTechniqueBackwardsNotableAeroplanesWirelessUniversal EducationDebit Book:The collected works of Aldous Huxley Source: The collected works of Aldous Huxley
“While we've made progress with our numbers, this will be a harder-to-reach group, and we have less money to do it.... Many people don't know or understand about the tax credit that they can receive. And so affordability is a barrier.

“We tend to credit those who create an idea, not those who perfect it, forgetting that it is often only in the perfection of an idea that true progress occurs.
