Famous quotes containing the word economic:

    “The labor of women in the house, certainly, enables men to produce more wealth than they otherwise could; and in this way women are economic factors in society. But so are horses.”
    —Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

    “A society in which everyone works is not necessarily a free society and may indeed be a slave society; on the other hand, a society in which there is widespread economic insecurity can turn freedom into a barren and vapid right for the millions of people.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
