I know that it is not enough to be remembered for books and theories. One does not make a difference unless it is a difference in people's lives.

Why should we stunt our ambitions and impoverish our lives in order to be insulted and looked down upon in our old age?

In economic life competition is never completely lacking, but hardly ever is it perfect.

Our poverty will be brought home to us to its full extent only after the war.

Capitalism inevitably and by virtue of the very logic of its civilization creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest.

The banker, therefore, is not so much primarily a middleman in the commodity "purchasing power" as a producer of this commodity. However, since all reserve funds and savings today usually flow to him, and the total demand for free purchasing power, whether existing or to be created, concentrates on him, he has either replaced private capitalists or become their agent; he has himself become the capitalist par excellence.

Can capitalism survive? No. I do not think it can.
