Our present predicament comes from the fact that running the economy on blood is no longer fashionable. We can't end this depression with another war.

Most of us owe instead of own. And the less the economy needs our labor, the less able we are to "save" our way to capital ownership.

Labor is the source of subsistence, capital is the source of affluence. My idea is to make everyone a capitalist, and therefore, financially secure.

It is the institutions of society, not parental genes, that bestow the blessings of ownership of productive capital.

When capital owners are few, the private-property conduits of necessity create vast savings reservoirs for those few. If there were many owners, the same conduits would broadly irrigate the economy with purchasing power.

Political power without economic power is sterile.

The path the capitalist revolution will take faces in exactly the opposite direction from that taken by the communist revolution. It seeks to diffuse the private ownership of capital instead of abolishing it entirely. It seeks to make all men capitalists instead of preventing anyone from being a capitalist by making the State the only capitalist.
