mnmal:
A very good friend asked me about where do I get some of the ideas and inspiration when I feel I am stuck. I told him about my 6 favorite quotes and I thought it would be good to publish them here too. In no particular order: Combat is an incredibly intense microcosm of life. In the space of a…
Albert Einstein on capitalism and democracy
“Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition amongst the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labour encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of the smaller ones.
The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be...
