Capitalist Quotes

I became very much, if I have to describe myself, I’m sort of a Libertarian Capitalist, and I was looking for, what’s the economic engine that’s going to drive us into space Picture Quote #1

We can tentatively credit capitalist civilization with a positive, if very geographically uneven, record in the struggle against disease Picture Quote #1

I unabashedly, unashamedly, unequivocally support the explosion of entrepreneurs in the capitalist system Picture Quote #1

The capitalist class shoots down mothers and children. It stops at nothing, no matter how monstrous, to prevent the organization of the workers Picture Quote #1

I would like for my books to have been recognized posthumously, at least in capitalist countries, where they turn you into a kind of merchandise Picture Quote #1

Advertising is the voice of capital. We need to do whatever we can to limit capitalist propaganda, regulate it, minimize it, and perhaps even eliminate it. The fight against hyper-commercialism becomes especially pronounced in the era of digital communications Picture Quote #1

Ecology’s implications for capitalism are too momentous for the capitalist to contemplate. The plutocrats are more wedded to their wealth than to the Earth upon which they live, more concerned with the fate of their fortunes than with the fate of humanity. The present ecological crisis has been created by the few at the expense of the many Picture Quote #1

Surely, nothing can be more plain or even more trite common sense than the proposition that innovation [...] is at the center of practically all the phenomena, difficulties, and problems of economic life in capitalist society Picture Quote #1

If you have technological progress, that will encourage more capitalist system. On the other hand, if you don’t, if things are stalled, you end up with much more of a zero sum type thing, where there’s no progress and basically everybody’s gain is somebody else’s loss Picture Quote #1

The trade-unionist has the same limitation imposed upon him as the capitalist. He cannot advance his interests at the expense of society Picture Quote #1

Before the 1970s, banks were banks. They did what banks were supposed to do in a state capitalist economy: they took unused funds from your bank account, for example, and transferred them to some potentially useful purpose like helping a family buy a home or send a kid to college Picture Quote #1

Capitalism requires individual responsibility and accountability. People are seen as atomized units in a capitalist system - they are either useful, or they are not. They are not seen racially or ethnically or religiously. They consume and they produce, and those are their only relevant characteristics Picture Quote #1

Worker ownership within a state capitalist, semi-market system is better than private ownership but it has inherent problems. Markets have well-known inherent inefficiencies. They’re very destructive Picture Quote #1

You build movements and keep people in a struggle when it feels productive. Anti-capitalists have typically been the people in movements who have declared every gain to be a trick of the capitalist class to buy us off. That line isn’t very inspiring, and it shows no sensitivity to how social movements actually succeed Picture Quote #1

[...] in a predatory capitalist economy, state intervention would be an absolute necessity to preserve human existence and to prevent the destruction of the physical environment [...] Picture Quote #1

Women in most countries have not achieved much, because they can’t be liberated under the patriarchal, capitalist, imperialist and military system that determines the way we live now, and which is governed by power, not justice, by false democracy, not real freedom Picture Quote #1

[I]f you think that American imperialism and its globalised, capitalist form is the most dangerous thing in the world, that means you don’t think the Islamic Republic of Iran or North Korea or the Taliban is as bad Picture Quote #1

Unlike President Obama, President Nixon was a capitalist who did not believe in ‘remaking’ the very character of America Picture Quote #1

A capitalist economy hums when leading businessmen are bubbling with animal spirits and are prepared to sink their money into risky ventures Picture Quote #1

Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women - two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians - have rendered the notion of capitalist democracy into an oxymoron Picture Quote #1

I look at being a capitalist businessperson like riding a bike - if I go too slowly, I’ll fall over. Or it’s kind of like a shark: if I stop swimming, I’ll just die Picture Quote #1

In a capitalist society there are always inequalities of class and wealth. People who inherit money and property will always see themselves as being superior to those who have to work for it Picture Quote #1

While we still live in a capitalist society, we of course will fight for whatever reforms help make life better for working people Picture Quote #1

Show me a first-generatio n fortune and I’ll show you a successful partnership between a talented individual and society’s invisible venture capitalist, the commons Picture Quote #1

I’m a capitalist, I’m a CEO, I run a big business, I’m an employer Picture Quote #1

Behind every liberal philanthropist fortune is a huge capitalist score. Bill Gates and Warren Buffett can afford now to be liberal - an expensive indulgence - because in their early incarnations they were no-holds-barred capitalists who made lots of enemies conducting business without mercy and in search of pure profit Picture Quote #1

The capitalist workplace is one of the most profoundly undemocratic institutions on the face of the Earth. Workers have no say over decisions affecting them. If workers sat on the board of directors of democratically operated self-managed enterprises, they wouldn’t vote for the wildly unequal distribution of profits to benefit a few and for cutbacks for the many Picture Quote #1

The U.S. incarceration binge is not tied to crime. It’s a strategy to control the surplus population in a capitalist system that is breaking down Picture Quote #1

As marriage was woman’s business, unmarried women, though doubtless unfortunate, must simply be considered as business failures: harsh, doubtless, but in tune with the sink-or-swim capitalist times Picture Quote #1
