“In truth, however, nothing is inevitable and very little is new. And tech is no more the root of the problem than are trade or globalization. Many of our most vaunted innovations are simply methods — electronic or otherwise — of pulling off some age-old profit-maximizing maneuver by new and unregulated means.”
Thomas Frank
“It is my purpose, as one who lived and acted in these days, first to show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been prevented; how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.”
Winston S. Churchill, The Gathering Storm
Ecclesiastes…there is nothing new under the sun.
