Toyohiko Kagawa
“The culture of an age is determined according to the degree of awakening of the conscious life of its people which develops and control the form of materialistic production, distribution, and consumption.”
Toyohiko Kagawa, Brotherhood Economics

R.H. Tawney
“Calvin did for the bourgeoisie of the sixteenth century what Marx did for the proletariat of the nineteenth.”
RH Tawney

Pyotr Kropotkin
“This is the secret of wealth; find the starving and destitute, pay them half a crown, and make them produce five shillings worth in the day, amass a fortune by these means, and then increase it by some lucky hit, made with the help of the State.”
Peter Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread

R.H. Tawney

RH Tawney

Simone Weil, Waiting for God
