“Never mind that some children might not want to grow up to run a business, that some might rather be teachers or mechanics, or even nothing in particular just yet; forget that imagination and creativity might be something other than a source of wealth. The cult of entrepreneurship’s commodification of imagination, its celebration of self-sacrifice, and its bootstraps individualism make it a perfect ethic for social disinvestment masquerading as reform and profiteering disguised as charity. Entrepreneurship means that now you’re on your own, kid.”
John Patrick Leary, Keywords: The New Language of Capitalism

“The language of innovation is often spoken in a tone that betrays a paradoxical combination of grandiose evangelism and task-oriented practicality, an impersonal celebration of technology, and an earnest celebration of aesthetic idiosyncrasies.”
John Patrick Leary, Keywords: The New Language of Capitalism

“Language (n.) The music with which we charm the serpents guarding another’s treasure. Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary”
