“I doubt whether there is any subject in the world of equal importance that has received so little serious and articulate consideration as the economic status of the family - of its members in relation to each other and of the whole unit in relation to the other units of which the community is made up.” WorldLittlesMadeWholeCommunityFamilyDoubtEconomicSubjectsSeriousEqualMembersEconomicsImportanceRelationConsiderationUnitsEconomic Status Author:Eleanor Rathbone
“Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are US government institutions. They are not... they are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the US for the benefit of themselves and their foreign and domestic swindlers, and rich and predatory money lenders. The sack of the United States by the Fed is the greatest crime in history. Every effort has been made by the Fed to conceal its powers, but the truth is the Fed has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will.” PeopleThinkingHas BeensMadeStatesGovernmentUnitedMoneyEffortBreakUnited StatesRichCrimeTruth IsBenefitsEconomicsRelationInstitutionsCreditFedsReservesBankingTaxationPreyMonopolyFederal ReservePredatoryLendersForeign RelationsSwindlersMoney Lenders Author:Louis Thomas McFadden
“It is almost as hard to define mathematics as it is to define economics, and one is tempted to fall back on the famous old definition attributed to Jacob Viner, "Economics is what economists do," and say that mathematics is what mathematicians do.

“For most progressives, what happens in families is a matter of "just" women's issues and children's issues.

“The investigation of causal relations between economic phenomena presents many problems of peculiar difficulty, and offers many opportunities for fallacious conclusions. Since the statistician can seldom or never make experiments for himself, he has to accept the data of daily experience, and discuss as best he can the relations of a whole group of changes; he cannot, like the physicist, narrow down the issue to the effect of one variation at a time. The problems of statistics are in this sense far more complex than the problems of physics.” WholeProblemScienceOpportunityCausesAcceptingIssuesGroupsEconomicEffectsOffersEconomicsDifficultyRelationComplexesPhysicsExperimentsConclusionDataStatisticsPeculiarInvestigationPhysicistVariationStatisticianDaily Experience Author:Udny Yule

“[The taxing power of the state] divides the community into two great classes: one consisting of those who, in reality, pay the taxes and, of course, bear exclusively the burden of supporting the government; and the other, of those who are the recipients of their proceeds through disbursements,and who are, in fact, supported by the government; or, in fewer words, to divide it into tax-payers and tax-consumers. But the effect of this is to place them in antagonistic relations in reference to the fiscal action of the government and the entire course of policy therewith connected.” TwoStatesPhilosophyFactsRealityGovernmentActionPoliticalCoursesCommunityPayClassEffectsPolicyBearsTaxesEconomicsRelationBurdenConnectedConsumersDividesFewer Author:John C.
