“The hegemony of finance and the banks has produced the indebted. Control over information and communication networks has created the mediatized. The security regime and the generalized state of exception have constructed a figure prey to fear and yearning for protection—the securitized. And the corruption of democracy has forged a strange, depoliticized figure, the represented. These subjective figures constitute the social terrain on which—and against which—movements of resistance and rebellion must act.” StatesSocialDemocracySecurityFiguresInformationMovementStrangeCommunicationCorruptionProtectionResistanceFinanceExceptionRebellionRegimesYearningSubjectivePreyDemocracies HaveForgedTerrainHegemonyIndebtedInformation And Communication Author:Michael Hardt

“The organized labor movement as it is constituted today is as much a concomitant of a capitalist economy as is capital. Organized labor is predicated upon the basic premise of collective bargaining between employers and employees. This premise can obtain only for an employer-employee type of society. If the labor movement is to maintain its own identity and security, it must of necessity protect that kind of society.” IfsKindTodayPoliticsEconomySecurityMovementIdentityTypeProtectLaborOrganizedLiberalismEmployeeCollectivesCapitalistEmployersPremisesBargainingLabor MovementOrganized LaborCollective BargainingCapitalist Economy Book:Reveille for Radicals Source: Reveille for Radicals
“The party should stand for a constantly wider diffusion of property. That is the greatest social and economic security that can come to free men. It makes free men. We want a nation of proprietors, not a state of collectivists. That is attained by creating a national wealth and income, not by destroying it.

“The most realistic distinction between the investor and the speculator is found in their attitude toward stock-market movements. The speculator's primary interest lies in anticipating and profiting from market fluctuations. The investor's primary interest lies in acquiring and holding suitable securities at suitable prices. Market movements are important to him in a practical sense, because they alternately create low price levels at which he would be wise to buy and high price levels at which he certainly should refrain from buying and probably would be wise to sell.” ShouldImportantWould BeLyingFoundInterestLevelsAttitudeWiseSecurityMovementLowsSellsPracticalsPrimariesBuyingDistinctionRealisticInvestorsBeing WiseSuitableRefrainFluctuationHigh PricesSpeculators Author:Benjamin Graham
