“Whether we like it or not, a breakdown in home-life will eventually lead to a breakdown everywhere. This is, surely, the most menacing and dangerous aspect of the state of society at this present time. Once the family idea, the family unit, the family life is broken up - once that goes, soon you will have no other allegiance.” IdeasStatesHomeLife IsDangerousBrokenAspectUnitsFamily LifeAllegianceBreakdownPresent TimeBroken UpHome LifeFamily Unit Author:Martyn
“The economy - once a great scatter of small productive units in autonomous balance, has become dominated by two or three hundred giant corporations, administratively and politically interrelated... The political order, once a decentralized set of several dozen states with a weak spinal cord, has become a centralized executive establishment which has taken up into itself many powers previously scattered... The military order, once a slim establishment in a context of distrust fed by state militia, has become the largest and most expensive feature of government.” TwoStatesGovernmentPoliticalOrderThreeEconomyTakenMilitaryBalanceHundredWeakCorporationsFeaturesGiantsExpensiveProductiveExecutivesFedsEstablishmentDozenUnitsDistrustCordsMilitiaSlimAutonomousSpinal Cord Author:C.

“Each state pursues its own interest's, however defined, in ways it judges best.

“There will be no peace in Europe if the States rebuild themselves on the basis of national sovereignty, with its implications of prestige politics and economic protection... The countries of Europe are not strong enough individually to be able to guarantee prosperity and social development for their peoples. The States of Europe must therefore form a federation or a European entity that would make them into a common economic unit.” IfsCountryStatesEnoughAbleFormStrongSocialCommonEconomicDevelopmentEuropeBasesProsperityProtectionGuaranteesEntityUnitsSovereigntyStrong EnoughImplicationsPrestigeSocial DevelopmentFederationNot StrongNational SovereigntyNot Strong Enough Author:Jean Monnet
