Yanis Varoufakis
“My reason for writing it was the conviction that the economy is too important to leave to the economists.”
Yanis Varoufakis, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: or, How Capitalism Works—and How It Fails

Naomi Klein
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!”
Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate

Bertrand Russell
“So far as I can remember there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.”
Bertrand Russell

Naomi Klein
“By this point in history—after the 2008 collapse of Wall Street and in the midst of layers of ecological crises—free market fundamentalists should, by all rights, be exiled to a similarly irrelevant status, left to fondle their copies of Milton Friedman’s Free to Choose and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged in obscurity. They are saved from this ignominious fate only because their ideas about corporate liberation, no matter how demonstrably at war with reality, remain so profitable to the world’s billionaires that they are kept fed and clothed in think tanks by the likes of Charles and David Koch, owners of the diversified dirty energy giant Koch Industries, and ExxonMobil.”
Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate

Naomi Klein
“More fundamentally than any of this, though, is their deep fear that if the free market system really has set in motion physical and chemical processes that, if allowed to continue unchecked, threaten large parts of humanity at an existential level, then their entire crusade to morally redeem capitalism has been for naught. With stakes like these, clearly greed is not so very good after all. And that is what is behind the abrupt rise in climate change denial among hardcore conservatives: they have come to understand that as soon as they admit that climate change is real, they will lose the central ideological battle of our time—whether we need to plan and manage our societies to reflect our goals and values, or whether that task can be left to the magic of the market.”
Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
