Capital Quotes - page 4
Let's begin with capitalism, a word that has gone largely out of fashion. The approved reference now is to the market system. This shift minimizes - indeed, deletes - the role of wealth in the economic and social system. And it sheds the adverse connotation going back to Marx. Instead of the owners of capital or their attendants in control, we have the admirably impersonal role of market forces. It would be hard to think of a change in terminology more in the interest of those to whom money accords power. They have now a functional anonymity.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business.
P. T. Barnum
'Capital' is not what capital is called, it is what its name is called.
Joan Robinson
Intellectual capital is the main determining factor and the base for economic and social development to any country.
Talal Abu-Ghazaleh
Let us be under no illusion. The Jewish spirit which was responsible for the alliance of large-scale capital with Marxism and was the driving force behind so many anti-Spanish revolutionary agreements, will not be got rid of in a day.
Francisco Franco
Make no mistake, the point of cutting the personal income tax and the capital gains cut is to send an unmistakable message to business leaders.
Bill Richardson
I certainly think that a Labour Government will have to have effective powers to control the outflow of capital.
Michael Foot
Of all the sights and sounds which attracted me on my first arrival to live in London in the mid-thirties, one combined operation left a lingering, individual spell. I naturally went to Hyde Park to hear the orators, the best of the many free entertainments on offer in the capital. I heard the purest milk of the world flowing, then as now, from the platform of the Socialist Party of Great Britain.
Michael Foot
I believe that the abolition of private ownership of land and capital is a necessary step toward any world in which the nations are to live at peace with one another.
Bertrand Russell
Perpetual revolutions in technology can mean the devaluation of fixed capital on an extensive scale.
David Harvey
The accumulation of capital and misery go hand in hand, concentrated in space.
David Harvey
Speculation in land may be necessary to capitalism, but speculative orgies periodically become a quagmire of destruction for capital itself.
David Harvey
Skills that are monopolizable are anathema to capital.
David Harvey
Money could not be converted into capital if wage labour did not exist.
David Harvey
Massive concentration of financial power, accompanied by the machinations of finance capital, can as easily de-stabilize as stabilize capitalism.
David Harvey
Not only must weapons be bought and paid for out of surpluses of capital and labour, but they must also be put to use. For this is the only means that capitalism has at its disposal to achieve the level of devaluation now required. The idea is dreadful in its implications. What better reason could there be to declare that it is time for capitalism to be gone, to give way to some saner mode of production?
David Harvey
Money must exist before it can be turned into capital.
David Harvey
The onset of a crisis is usually triggered by a spectacular failure which shakes confidence in fictitious forms of capital.
David Harvey
The geographical movement of money and commodities as capital is not the same as the movements of products and of precious metals. Capital is, after all, money used in a certain way, and is by no means identical with all money uses.
David Harvey
The accumulation of capital involves the the expansion of value over time.
David Harvey
But the net effect of increasing scale, centralization of capital, vertical integration and diversification within the corporate form of enterprise has been to replace the 'invisible hand' of the market by the 'visible hand' of the managers.
David Harvey
I would rather be defeated than make capital out of my religion.
James A. Garfield
