I come from a country in which I experienced economic collapse. ~ Angela Merkel
Economic Collapse quotes by Angela Merkel
At the crash of economic collapse of which the rumblings can already be heard, the sleeping soldiers of the proletariat will awake as at the fanfare of the Last Judgment and the corpses of the victims of the struggle will arise and demand an accounting from those who are loaded down with curses. ~ Karl Liebknecht
Economic Collapse quotes by Karl Liebknecht
Today, the rich are the haves and the poor are the have-nots. Tomorrow, the rich will be the have-food and the poor will be the have-not food. ~ Bill Gaede
Economic Collapse quotes by Bill Gaede
I propose that the forces of corporate totalitarianism are deliberately destroying this entire world in order to sell their simulated version of it back to us at a profit. ~ Diane Harvey
Economic Collapse quotes by Diane Harvey
When people believe that the local government and economy serve their needs. There is little desire to protest. ~ Auliq Ice
Economic Collapse quotes by Auliq Ice
But how can you understand a war without any knowledge of the society where it happens? It's like trying to understand birth without knowing anything about pregnancy or conception. Or like trying to understand our current economic collapse without knowing what a derivative is. ~ Annia Ciezadlo
Economic Collapse quotes by Annia Ciezadlo
Despite our accumulation of material wealth, humanity is now engulfed by a widespread economic collapse. Many areas of production exhibit regressive trends so that visible epicentres of decay are growing on all sides and threatening humanity itself. Despite all the research no means can be found to prevent humanity from decaying alive. This is no more than the just and legitimate consequence of human activity. Knowing nothing of Nature's omnipotent laws, and with mindless greed, humanity claws into the life-giving organism of Mother Earth. She is now, with elemental power, beginning to paralyse the wanton hand that dared disturb the forces that serve all Creation. ~ Viktor Schauberger
Economic Collapse quotes by Viktor Schauberger
The plague did not lead to Europe's economic collapse. Rather, Europe's currency-driven economic collapse led to the plague. ~ Douglas Rushkoff
Economic Collapse quotes by Douglas Rushkoff
I'll bet you didn't think a handful of economists could save the world, did you? You thought the world would end with nuclear war or something? No, it's much more basic than that. It's more likely going to be from a disruption in the water supply, power, and from lack of food due to an economic collapse. Either that or a financial war. ~ Kenneth Eade
Economic Collapse quotes by Kenneth Eade
Cyprus was a breath away from economic collapse. It was a big battle in which we came out wounded, but upright and determined to make a fresh start. ~ Nicos Anastasiades
Economic Collapse quotes by Nicos Anastasiades
Out of the slaughter of some 20,000 Communards, out of military defeat and economic collapse, what had in fact emerged was a regime whose capacity for government had been doubtful from its inception. So much, indeed, was this the case that within three years a society brought to the brink of ruin was clamoring for a dictator. ~ Hannah Arendt
Economic Collapse quotes by Hannah Arendt
Historians will likely give Obama credit for steering the country away from the brink of economic collapse in 2009. ~ Ron Fournier
Economic Collapse quotes by Ron Fournier
Man steps on an ant when he can't catch the fly. ~ Bill Gaede
Economic Collapse quotes by Bill Gaede
We all know that 97% of the money in the world doesn't exist and that's thanks to Fractional Reserve Banking, or should I say fictional reserve banking." He grinned at his own joke, his smile partly hidden by his hair, "Money is no longer attached to the Gold Standard, therefore, it isn't based on anything. So when it says, 'I promise to pay the bearer on demand ten pounds,' I have to ask, ten pounds of what?" Silence. "The world is owned by the rich shareholder, the rich superstar, the rich industrialist, the rich aristocracy." He was now marching around the stage, "It doesn't matter who or what they are, if they're rich then they own a part of the world, but they only own it because they've got lots of money. Which means they own part of the 97% of the world's fictional money, the pretend money that only exists on a computer." He stopped abruptly and stared out at the audience, "Which means that if they cashed in their fictional nonexistent money they'd get something like this ten pound note offering to pay the bearer the sum of ten pounds of nothing." He held the note aloft, "Which means the rich have managed to buy the entire world with paper nothing that has a value of nothing and we've let them do it. ~ Arun D. Ellis
Economic Collapse quotes by Arun D. Ellis
You have to distinguish between two things - the Swedish economy and the Swedish stock market. The Swedish economy is the sum of all the goods and services that are produced in this country every day. There are telephones from Ericsson, cars from Volvo, chickens from Scan, and shipments from Kiruna to Skovde. That's the Swedish economy, and it's just as strong or weak today as it was a week ago ...
The Stock Exchange is something very different. There is no economy and no production of goods and services. There are only fantasies in which people from one hour to the next decide that this or that company is worth so many billions, more or less. It doesn't have a thing to do with the Swedish economy. ~ Stieg Larsson
Economic Collapse quotes by Stieg Larsson
The world was different. The world feared touch. ~ R.M. James
Economic Collapse quotes by R.M. James
The corporate system is interconnected and now share a common invested interest, the ability to control through business, the people. It is an inevitable path the parameters set will take the beast down following the easiest way to collective profits, to control the ones that provide them. It is also logical to protect your own, from ones that are shedding light through Art on the grey water they may have stepped into to reach their fullest profit potentials. It is the logical solution to what would be, just business. So the Matrix story albeit written to lift for all the ceiling of what is possible, has inevitably shined a light on the entire path that was chosen and the pre-chosen road ahead that collective corporations were on creating a separate state of politically connected elite and those seeking award through serving them. A natural progression of what was set in place from the beginning. The flaw was in the design of the collective corporate system, globally intertwined now, and immersed in politics, protecting its own, making the question real this time, how to balance the equation. ~ Tom Althouse
Economic Collapse quotes by Tom Althouse
The American share of the crisis began with grossly improper mortgages provided to wholly unqualified borrowers, all directly caused and encouraged by government distortion of and interference in the market. The government's market deformation and market intervention was in turn the result of two factors: political favouritism and Leftist ideology, on the one hand; and upon the other, corruption: the blatant cooption of such Friends of Angelo as Mr Dodd and of such bien-pensant Lefties as Mr Frank. The stability and efficiency of any market is directly proportional to the amount and trustworthiness of market information. The Yank Congress, for blatantly partisan and ideological reasons, gave out false information to the market, pushing lenders into making bad loans and giving out, with the appropriate winks and nudges, that Fannie (will Americans ever realise how that sounds) and Freddie, imperfectly quangoised, were 'really just as good as the Treasury' and were in any case 'too big to [be let] fail': which, as it happens, was untrue. Similarly, this moronic mantra of 'too big to fail' was chanted desperately and loudly to drown out the warning sounds of various financial institutions on the brink and of the automobile industry. Incomprehensible sums of public money were thrown at these corporations so that they could avoid bankruptcy, and have succeeded only in privatising profit whilst socialising risk. ~ G.M.W. Wemyss
Economic Collapse quotes by G.M.W. Wemyss
Now, in this generation, the entirety of the globe is facing an ideological and socio-political collapse on a grand scale. This is by design, it is man-made. The outcome is still carefully assessed with little room for error or improvement. There is only one flaw: the divine element in humanity. Our sentient consciousness bestows with the capacity to support the freedom of thought and movement with the inherent awareness that both come at a cost. When we speak our minds, we are going to offend and be offended. There are no safe spaces in conversation. People will say things we don't like. We have to accept this is the price of freedom of speech. When we allow for freedom of movement during times of war, we have to accept that we are inviting in enemies as well as refugees, especially when we don't bother to discern which is which. Even the best, most selfless intentions can pave the way to our downfall... ~ Anita B. Sulser PhD
Economic Collapse quotes by Anita B. Sulser PhD
If you thought financial crises came and went, just count on them - another economic collapse, it's almost going to be like not news any more. But for startups this is great, because it's a perpetual driver of disruption. ~ Steve Jurvetson
Economic Collapse quotes by Steve Jurvetson
I expect to see trade wars, foreign policy disasters, a few race riots, a decrease in personal liberty, higher taxes, higher inflation and probably, economic collapse. The silver lining is, secession will probably become more feasible. ~ Charley Reese
Economic Collapse quotes by Charley Reese
Why is no one talking about all the potential savings from a complete economic collapse? ~ Eugene Mirman
Economic Collapse quotes by Eugene Mirman
Being resolute today means to act within the framework of political and social pluralism and the rule of law to provide conditions for continued reform and prevent a breakdown of the state and economic collapse, prevent the elements of chaos from becoming catastrophic.
All this requires taking certain tactical steps, to search for various ways of addressing both short- and long-term tasks. Such efforts and political and economic steps, agreements based on reasonable compromise, are there for everyone to see. ~ Mikhail Gorbachev
Economic Collapse quotes by Mikhail Gorbachev
Where affluence is the rule, the true threat is the loss of desire.(...) What is new is not that prosperity depends on stimulating demand. It is that it cannot continue without inventing new vices. ~ John Gray
Economic Collapse quotes by John Gray
That is what has happened to the United States in the international economic scene. We have deteriorated into a debtor status so that we are now dependent upon the kindness of strangers. That is not where the world's leading power should find itself. ~ Paul Sarbanes
Economic Collapse quotes by Paul Sarbanes
Government has coddled, accepted, and ignored white collar crime for too long. It is time the nation woke up and realized that it's not the armed robbers or drug dealers who cause the most economic harm, it's the white collar criminals living in the most expensive homes who have the most impressive resumes who harm us the most. They steal our pensions, bankrupt our companies, and destroy thousands of jobs, ruining countless lives. ~ Harry Markopolos
Economic Collapse quotes by Harry Markopolos
Art and work and art and life are very connected and my whole life has been absurd. There isn't a thing in my life that has happened that hasn't been extreme - personal health, family, economic situations ... absurdity is the key word ... ~ Eva Hesse
Economic Collapse quotes by Eva Hesse
I'm not the only person who carries a lot of assumptions when I read the Bible, and it can be tough to entertain the idea that the Word of God has different perspectives in it. Biblical apologists spend all their time weaving these different viewpoints into a single frame, in an effort that often looks like squids playing Twister: fascinating, appalling, and hard to follow. We've seen what this approach to history can sow: a destructive oversimplification of the Church's past.
Americans treat their national narrative in much this way, too. We simplistically teach a single story in our history classrooms, of brave rebels who left cultures of tyranny and heroically crossed the Atlantic to found a nation built on freedom and justice. When we speak of our national sins, such as the genocide committed on Nation Americans or the brutal, longterm economic extraction of wealth from black bodies via slavery and segregation, we seem to dismiss these troubling matters as things that happened in the remote past but that have been resolved today. ~ Mike McHargue
Economic Collapse quotes by Mike McHargue
The limitations of my endurance were expanded over and over. At times I felt that if I did not sit down I would collapse. Then something would happen to attract my attention ... miraculously, the distraction always provided wings, carrying new strength, a second wind. ~ Marlo Morgan
Economic Collapse quotes by Marlo Morgan
I think the team that successfully puts together an economic and social policy framework for global full employment in decent working conditions based on local development, that would command the support of all stakeholders and all international organizations concerned, should be awarded the [Nobel] prize. I am sure they would get it not just for economics, but also for peace in the world. ~ Juan Somavia
Economic Collapse quotes by Juan Somavia
If nations join together now, before the big collapse and share their resources, they can maintain a level of sustainability. Sustain the people that is, and not banks and businesses. ~ Jacque Fresco
Economic Collapse quotes by Jacque Fresco
Naples was the great European metropolis where faith in technology, in science, in economic development, in the kindness of nature, in history that leads of necessity to improvement, in democracy, was revealed, most clearly and far in advance, to be completely without foundation. ~ Elena Ferrante
Economic Collapse quotes by Elena Ferrante
The crisis is a period in which a diseased social, economic, and political body or system cannot live on as before and is obliged, on pain of death, to undergo transformations that will give it a new lease on life. Therefore, this period of crisis is a historical moment of danger and suspense during which the crucial decisions and transformations are made, which will determine the future development of the system if any and its new social, economic, and political basis. ~ Andre Gunder Frank
Economic Collapse quotes by Andre Gunder Frank
With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the fact of the world and see the collapse of this pygmy giant. Then will I wander god-like and victorious through the ruins of the world. And giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. ~ Karl Marx
Economic Collapse quotes by Karl Marx
Economic gross is making us fat. ~ Pierre Dukan
Economic Collapse quotes by Pierre Dukan
The trip I made to Angola to study the prehistoric contents of the gravel beds as a means of deciding the age of the deposits and their economic potential was the first time prehistory had ever been used for such a purpose. ~ Louis Leakey
Economic Collapse quotes by Louis Leakey
This is not a dispute about whether planning is to be done or not. It is a dispute as to whether planning is to be done centrally, by one authority for the whole economic system, or is to be divided among many individuals. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Economic Collapse quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
Every global concern - economic, environmental or security-related - can be addressed more effectively when the U.S. and China work together. ~ Henry Paulson
Economic Collapse quotes by Henry Paulson
I'm constantly working on these edges of photography, either to employ so much information or reduce information to the point of collapse. ~ Ori Gersht
Economic Collapse quotes by Ori Gersht
Mountaineers know that all mountains are in a constant state of collapse - their verticality being inescapably and inevitably worn down every moment by wind, water, weather, and gravity - but ~ Dan Simmons
Economic Collapse quotes by Dan Simmons
We put a gender lens on our whole value chain. ~ Paul Polman
Economic Collapse quotes by Paul Polman
I can be free only to the extent that others are forbidden to profit from their physical, economic, or other superiority to the detriment of my liberty. ~ Emile Durkheim
Economic Collapse quotes by Emile Durkheim
tax is always more than just a tax: it is also a way of defining norms and categories and imposing a legal framework on economic activity. ~ Thomas Piketty
Economic Collapse quotes by Thomas Piketty
On Earth one of the things that a large proportion of the locals is most proud of is this wonderful economic system which, with a sureness and certainty so comprehensive one could almost imagine the process bears some relation to their limited and limiting notions of either thermodynamics or God, all food, comfort, energy, shelter, space, fuel and sustenance gravitates naturally and easily away from those who need it most and towards those who need it least. Indeed, those on the receiving end of such largesse are often harmed unto death by its arrival, though the effects may take years and generations to manifest themselves. ~ Iain M. Banks
Economic Collapse quotes by Iain M. Banks
Economic and political factors play themselves out through human agency; and human beings are fundamentally shaped by their cultures. ~ Francis George
Economic Collapse quotes by Francis George
Our struggle was political, ideological and economic, and we felt we couldn't make something of ourselves unless we bettered society. We saw the two together. ~ Bella Abzug
Economic Collapse quotes by Bella Abzug
To prove that Wall Street is an early omen of movements still to come in GNP, commentators quote economic studies alleging that market downturns predicted four out of the last five recessions. That is an understatement. Wall Street indexes predicted nine out of the last five recessions! And its mistakes were beauties. ~ Paul Samuelson
Economic Collapse quotes by Paul Samuelson
This economic pie that is getting ready to explode before our eyes is going to be shared equally. ~ Ray Nagin
Economic Collapse quotes by Ray Nagin
Even philosophies who have denounced pseudosciences like psychoanalysis, have condoned pseudoscientific economic theories like neoclassical microeconomics. It is far safer and easier to criticize Freud and Jung than to criticize Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek, because the latter are backed by political movements whereas the former are not. ~ Mario Bunge
Economic Collapse quotes by Mario Bunge
Captain Richard Phillips of the good ship Maersk Alabama - and Sully Sullenberger splashing down his crippled airliner in the Hudson River - broke through the poisonous smog of economic depression and Wall Street skullduggery with a reminder that pure individual heroism is a daily occurrence if we know where to look for it. ~ Tina Brown
Economic Collapse quotes by Tina Brown
It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Economic Collapse quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
It is one of the greatest economic errors to put any limitation upon production.We have not the power to produce more than there is a potential to consume. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Economic Collapse quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
Price is a crazy and incalculable thing, while Value is an intrinsic and indestructible thing. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Economic Collapse quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Dark economic clouds are dissipating into an emerging blue sky of opportunity. ~ Rick Perry
Economic Collapse quotes by Rick Perry
We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure. ~ Cesar Chavez
Economic Collapse quotes by Cesar Chavez
Social mobility decreased under Labour and under the current government it is reversing. The differences between the poorest and richest are returning to Victorian levels. We don't have open sewers and infant mortality rates at fifty percent but in economic terms we're getting to a level of disparity we haven't seen for a couple of hundred years. And we're getting there very quickly. ~ Jonathan Trigell
Economic Collapse quotes by Jonathan Trigell
Milton Friedman's misfortune is that his economic policies have been tried. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Economic Collapse quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
But the good news is that out in the countryside, just about every place that's got a zip code has somebody or some group of people battling the economic and political exclusion that Wall Street and Washington are shoving down our throats. ~ Jim Hightower
Economic Collapse quotes by Jim Hightower
The social system of capital separates most people from the conditions of existence. This compels the vast majority to accept the mediations of work and commodity consumption in order to maintain a minimal existence at the expense of their lives, desires and dreams, of their individuality. The artificial economic scarcity imposed by capital leads to a competition that is often promoted in the United States as the basis of "individualism" in spite of the fact that it creates nearly identical mediocre existences in which life is subsumed in survival... If all individuals are indeed to be free to create their lives and relations as they desire, it is necessary to create a world in which equality of access to the means and conditions of existence is reality. This requires the total destruction of economy - the end of property, commodity exchange and work. Thus we see that the generalized realization of individual freedom goes hand-in-hands with the best aspects of the anarcho-communist ideal and can only be achieved through a revolutionary transformation. ~ Wolfi Landstreicher Individualism And Communism
Economic Collapse quotes by Wolfi Landstreicher Individualism And Communism
If you're a politician it's very useful to say that we can have economic growth and at the same time green the economy, but writers just have to face up to the fact that there are some fundamental tensions between the economic order and the biological order. ~ Michael Pollan
Economic Collapse quotes by Michael Pollan
