The cheap but simple human emotion of envy is the driving force of all socialism, of all anti-capitalist philosophy. It is the mark of the intellectual.

The more prosperity you have, the quicker you ... attract the looters and the plunderers.... And so when a country becomes richer it falls apart sooner.

There's only one thing to do with politics, and that is to survive it.

I call both the left and right wings socialism. And today, the right-wingers love to think that they're capitalists, or free enterprisers, or what not. No they're not! The correct name for this is left-wing socialism or right-wing socialism - and both wings are on the same bird.

In capitalism, profit does not come out of another man's hardship; it comes out of new production of new wealth that's never existed before.

Almost everything that almost everyone believes is wrong.

Capitalism is the key to survival.
