Socialism/economics

Famous quotes containing the words socialism and/or economics:

    This socialism will develop in all its phases until it reaches its own extremes and absurdities. Then once again a cry of denial will break from the titanic chest of the revolutionary minority and again a mortal struggle will begin, in which socialism will play the role of contemporary conservatism and will be overwhelmed in the subsequent revolution, as yet unknown to us.
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)
