Clement Attlee
“Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.”
Clement Attlee

Yanis Varoufakis
“The ancient Greek word for money, for currency, is 'nomisma.' It comes from the verb 'to imagine.'"

"So money has value to the extent that we imagine that it has value, according to the ancient Greeks. They knew that more than 2,000 years ago, and we kind of forget that simple, important notion at times.”
Yanis Varoufakis

Tony Benn

Yanis Varoufakis
