"If the economy becomes disembodied from society it can only lead to disaster." ― Susan George Topic(s): Society More From Susan George "The real fight is about what should be in the marketplace and what should not. Should education be a marketable commodity? Should healthcare?" "The natural capital is not income, but we spend our natural capital as if it were revenue, as if it were going to come back next year without any problems, whereas these renewals in nature can take hundreds of years." "Having enough to eat, being able to educate your children, have reasonably stable employment, and being able to live in a society which isn’t collapsing around you-all of these things have been generally eroded."

What is the matter with the poor is Poverty; what is the matter with the rich is Uselessness."― George Bernard Shaw "In December, I agreed to extend the tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans because it was the only way I could prevent a tax hike on middle-class Americans. But we cannot afford $1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire in our society. We can’t afford it. And I refuse to renew them again."― Barack Obama "We don’t need sugar to live, and we don’t need it as a society."― Mehmet Oz
