Matthew Desmond
“The rent eats first.”
Matthew Desmond, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City

Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
“The essence of economic inequality is borne out in a simple fact: there are 400 billionaires in the United States and 45 million people living in poverty. These are not parallel facts; they are intersecting facts. There are 400 American billionaires because there are 45 million people living in poverty. Profit comes at the expense of the living wage. Corporate executives, university presidents, and capitalists in general are living the good life--because so many others are living a life of hardship.”
Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation

Sharon Salzberg
“For any marginalized group to change the story that society tells about them takes courage and perseverance.”
Sharon Salzberg, Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection

Michio Kaku
“We should try to leave the world a better place than when we entered it. As individuals, we can make a difference, whether it is to probe the secrets of Nature, to clean up the environment and work for peace and social justice, or to nurture the inquisitive, vibrant spirit of the young by being a mentor and a guide.”
Michio Kaku

Karen Joy Fowler
“So many problems, however infinitely varied they first appear, turn out to be matters of money. I can't tell you how much this offends me. The value of money is a scam perpetrated by those who have it over those who dont; it's the Emperor's New Clothes gone global.”
Karen Joy Fowler
