Exploitation/economics

Famous quotes containing the words exploitation and/or economics:

“The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)

“Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.”
