Famous quotes containing the words business and/or finance:

    “The point is that nationalism, even in its latest madhouse frenzies under Mussolini and Hitler, is still, like advertising, an arm of big business. Nations as we know them today, were the invention of business and it is natural that business should still consider itself slightly above patriotism and that the strongest international should still be the international of profits.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “A bank is a confidence trick. If you put up the right signs, the wizards of finance themselves will come in and ask you to take their money.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)
