Quotes by Gary S. Cross (?)

“Even business leaders embraced President Johnson’s Great Society social programs as the price for affluence. Government spending oiled a well-constructed economic machine — making it work better by adjusting consumer demand when needed and by bringing the poor into the system through education and a helping hand.”
― Gary S. Cross, An All-Consuming Century: Why Commercialism Won in Modern America
