1. “Everything on earth – both the good things and the bad things – is not given to a man according to his just deserts, but as a result of certain as yet unknown, yet logical, laws which I won’t even undertake to suggest to you, although it sometimes seems to me that I feel them as through a glass darkly.”
Ivan Turgenev

5. “Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing. You are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers.

6. “Habitat has opened up unprecedented opportunities for me to cross the chasm that separates those of us who are free, safe, financially secure, well fed and housed, and influential enough to shape our own destiny from our neighbors who enjoy few, if any, of these advantages of life.” Jimmy Carter Habitat, Opportunity, Security, Society, Inequality
18. “I think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties, when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.” Alice Walker Society, Inequality, Privilege, Race, History
24. “Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other’s habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.” Benjamin Disraeli Division, Society, Class, Inequality, Empathy
29. “Since Marx wrote, capitalist technology and industry have indeed spread all over the world. As they have done so, moreover, not only have material wealth and the possibilities for freeing mankind definitively from the burden of meaningless, repetitive and mechanical work increased, but so too has the polarization of society between fewer and fewer owners of capital and more and more workers of hand and brain, forced to sell their labour-power to these owners.” Karl Marx Capitalism, Industry, Inequality, Labor, Society
