“The wealth creators of neoliberal mythology are some of the most effective wealth destroyers the world has ever seen.”

“In this world of ours, a world of powerful centers and subjugated outposts, there is no wealth that must not be held in some suspicion.”

“Probably no country has ever had as large a shift in the distribution of wealth [as what we've seen in the U.S. in the last 30 years] without having gone through a revolution or losing a major war.”

“Within this culture wealth is measured by one's ability to consume and destroy.”

“Neoliberalization has not been very effective in revitalizing global capital accumulation, but it has succeeded remarkably well in restoring, or in some instances (as in Russia and China) creating, the power of an economic elite. The theoretical utopianism of neoliberal argument has, I conclude, primarily worked as a system of justification and legitimation for whatever needed to be done to achieve this goal.”

“Man's mind is the root of all the goods produced and of all the wealth that has ever existed on earth.”
