Economic System Quotes

“What I didn’t say was: I know you too well. You live your life idealistically. You think it’s possible to opt out of the system. No regular income, no health insurance. You quit jobs on a dime. You think this is freedom but I still see the bare, painstakingly cheap way you live, the scrimping and saving, and that is not freedom either. You move in circumscribed circles. You move peripherally, on the margins of everything, pirating movies and eating dollar slices. I used to admire this about you, how fervently you clung to your beliefs—I called it integrity—but five years of watching you live this way has changed me. In this world, money is freedom. Opting out is not a real choice.”
― Ling Ma, Severance

“Ecosystems have the power to positively disrupt economic systems. BMaaS (Business Models-as-a-System) harness open ecosystems as a complex set of interacting relationships and networks. The stronger these relationships, the more resilient the systems.”

“The same is true for the market economy: the power of markets is enormous, but they have no inherent moral character. We have to decide how to manage them...

And that has to be done repeatedly, to ensure that they continue to do so.”
― Joseph Stiglitz, The Price Of Inequality

“The minority (the considered one percent of the one percent of the one percent of the one percent of humanity…) that has “worked hard” its way to obscene riches and power depriving human beings of vital necessities like water and food is a part of us, not an alien enemy.

They are not the devil, nor satan.
Just men (like us)
Men who are taught what they know (like us)
What to think (like us)
Men who are lied to (like us)
Manipulated (like us)
Processed (like us)
Indoctrinated (…. ..)”

“There is a limit where all armaments ain't strong enough to secure current world economic system and practice.”
― Toba Beta, Master of Stupidity

“The Spanish economic system is like a game of musical chairs, in which there are only half as many seats as there are performers.”
― Gerald Brenan, The Face of Spain

“The current economic system distributes wealth in a very focused manner that prevents a vast majority of humans from being adequately rewarded by the technologically advanced civilization. These factors undoubtedly condemn today’s system of suboptimal economics to the realm of classical models of history as a result of impending obsolescence. In brief, the current faltering economic model is suboptimal, hinders economic growth, and is not sustainable going forward.”
