The Athenian democracy suffered much from that narrowness of patriotism which is the ruin of all nations.
H. G. WellsIt [a new world order] needs only that the governments of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Russia should get together in order to set up an effective control of currency, credit, production, and distribution โ that is to say, an effective โdictatorship of prosperity,โ for the whole world. The other sixty odd States would have to join in or accommodate themselves to the over-ruling decisions of these major Powers.
