“The modern financial system is not perfect, but upon a detailed examination of the crime is unfair. Money is not a measure of labor, but a means of exploitation amusing the elite’s ambitions. It all depends on how profitable cash flows are, and not on the basis of the principle of measuring labor, on the basis of one’s own interests, usurping the distribution of money. Gestures and laws of this kind, and they all use this system and dream, must go to this hierarchy, gain control over the money in order to engage in usurpation of resources. After killing the dragon, they themselves want to become a dragon.”

“For the corporation executives, the military metaphysic often coincides with their interest in a stable and planned flow of profit; it enables them to have their risk underwritten by public money; it enables them reasonably to expect that they can exploit for private profit now and later, the risky research developments paid for by public money. It is, in brief, a mask of the subsidized capitalism from which they extract profit and upon which their power is based.”

C. Wright Mills (1916–1962) American sociologist

The Causes of World War Three (1960)

“The idea that money begets money, and that the rich and powerful enjoy unfair advantages, goes against what we are taught - or like to believe - about the capitalist system.”
