Whats immediately profitable ...

Whats immediately profitable is the only kind of logic that capitalism understands.

The real fight is about what ...

The real fight is about what should be in the marketplace and what should not. Should education be a marketable commodity? Should healthcare?

Susan George 73 quotes

Everything has to be done to ...

Everything has to be done to build some sort of international democracy. We've seen only the tiniest beginnings of that.

Susan George 73 quotes

The question is not only what...

The question is not only what is grown but what it's used for. There's not going to be a mass transformation of dietary habits in rich countries-on the contrary, the first thing people do when they become more prosperous is to buy more meat.

Susan George 73 quotes

There is no degree of human s...

There is no degree of human suffering which in and of itself is going to bring about change. Only organisation can change things.

Susan George 73 quotes

Much of what is called invest...

Much of what is called investment is actually nothing more than mergers and acquisitions, and of course mergers and acquisitions are generally accompanied by downsizing.

Susan George 73 quotes

There are a lot of people who...

There are a lot of people who don't contribute anything to consumption and production.

Susan George 73 quotes

What I worry about is climate...

What I worry about is climate change, because that would have untold effects that we can't even measure yet.

Susan George 73 quotes

What you need if you want job...

What you need if you want jobs are small and medium sized enterprises, local initiatives, labour intensive work, community development, service providers and the like.

Susan George 73 quotes

There's people coming in who'...

There's people coming in who've never done any politics at all, who've never been in a trade union, they've never been in a political party, they've never done anything, but they do feel a kind of urgency.

Debt is such a powerful tool,...

Debt is such a powerful tool, it is such a useful tool, it's much better than colonialism ever was because you can keep control without having an army, without having a whole administration.

Susan George 73 quotes

Having enough to eat, being a...

Having enough to eat, being able to educate your children, have reasonably stable employment, and being able to live in a society which isn't collapsing around you-all of these things have been generally eroded.

Susan George 73 quotes

I used to work a lot on food ...

I used to work a lot on food issues and every time somebody predicted that production would be inadequate they got egg on their face a year or two later.

Susan George 73 quotes

The natural capital is not in...

The natural capital is not income, but we spend our natural capital as if it were revenue, as if it were going to come back next year without any problems, whereas these renewals in nature can take hundreds of years.

Susan George 73 quotes

I think the market is always ...

I think the market is always going to be around. The goal is not to say, let's get rid of the market, because the market does render a huge number of services, and I don't want to have a fight about the price of something every time I buy a book or a bottle of water.

Susan George 73 quotes

We have the most crude accounting tools. It's tragic because our accounts and our national arithmetic doesn't tell us the things that we need to know.

The Sierra Club in the United...

The Sierra Club in the United States has now really come out for population control and reduction.

Susan George 73 quotes

This erosion of the middle cl...

This erosion of the middle class is happening all over the place. The opening of a wider gap between rich and poor is always accompanied by such a process.

Susan George 73 quotes

What is not fair now is that ...

What is not fair now is that corporations pay less and less tax, which means that you and I pay more because we're rooted somewhere, they've got our address, right?

Susan George 73 quotes

What it missing, I think, is ...

What it missing, I think, is this notion of the common good.
