“The enormous dynamic and creative, as well as destructive energy of capitalism... is written up with more praise and more respect by Marx and Engels in the 1848 Communist Manifesto than probably by anyone since. I don't think anyone has ever said so precisely and with such awed admiration how great capitalism is, how inventive, how innovative, how dynamic, how much force of creativity it unleashes.” ThinkingWellsSaidEnergyForceCreativityCreativeWrittenCapitalismPraiseEnormousDestructiveAdmirationCommunistInnovativeManifestosCommunist ManifestoEngels Author:Christopher Hitchens
“Now the code of life of the High Middle Ages said something entirely opposite to this: that it was precisely lack of leisure, an inability to be at leisure, that went together with idleness; that the restlessness of work-for-work's sake arose from nothing other than idleness. There is a curious connection in the fact that the restlessness of a self-destructive work-fanatacism should take its rise from the absence of a will to accomplish something.” ShouldSaidSelfFactsAgeTogetherMiddleConnectionsOppositesSakeAccomplishAbsenceCuriousCodeDestructiveLeisureInabilityIdlenessMiddle AgesRestlessnessSelf Destructive Author:Josef Pieper
