“Poverty is a strange and elusive thing. ... I condemn poverty and I advocate it; poverty is simple and complex at once; it is a social phenomenon and a personal matter. Poverty is an elusive thing, and a paradoxical one. We need always to be thinking and writing about it, for if we are not among its victims its reality fades from us. We must talk about poverty because people insulated by their own comfort lose sight of it.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsWritingMatterRealitySocialLosesSimplePovertyStrangeComfortSightVictimComplexesPhenomenonFadesElusiveParadoxicalPersonal MatterSimple And Complex Author:Dorothy Day
“Every great creative idea, formulated as a philosophy, has a social setting - in time, in a geographical location, in a political economy, in a matrix of interests and knowledge. It is not a free-swinging phenomenon like a balloon without moorings. It is not produced in a vacuum and, being creative, it does not work in a vacuum. Nurtured on things experienced and things known, it reaches out toward the unknown like a flower on a stalk growing out of the soil.” DoeIdeasPhilosophyPoliticalSocialInterestKnownEconomyCreativeGrowingFlowerSettingSettingsSoilPhenomenonReach OutLocationBe CreativeVacuumsStalkingBalloonsCreative IdeasPolitical Economy Book:Making Women's History: The Essential Mary Ritter Beard Source: Making Women's History: The Essential Mary Ritter Beard

“In view of the importance of philanthropy in our society, it is surprising that so little attention has been given to it by economic or social theorists. In economic theory, especially, the subject is almost completely ignored. This is not, I think, because economists regard mankind as basically selfish or even because economic man is supposed to act only in his self-interest; it is rather because economics has essentially grown up around the phenomenon of exchange and its theoretical structure rests heavily on this process.” ThinkingMenLittlesHas BeensSelfGivenSocialProcessInterestViewsAttentionEconomicSubjectsMankindTheoryEconomicsImportanceRegardStructureSelfishOur SocietyPhenomenonSurprisingPhilanthropyIgnoredEconomistTheoreticalSelf InterestTheoristsEconomic Theory Author:Kenneth E.
