The crippling of individuals I considered is the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated in the student who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career. (Albert Einstein)
Capitalism did not arise because capitalist stole the land or the workers' tools but because it was more efficient than feudalism. It will perish because it is not merely less efficient than socialism but actually self-destructive. (J.B.S.Haldane)
Capital is that part of the whole wealth of a country which is employed in production and consists of food, clothing, tools, raw materials, machinery etc., necessary to give effect to labor. (David Ricardo)
I would like to see a fair division of profits between capital and labor so that the toiler could save enough to mingle a little June and December of his life. (Robert Green Ingersoll)
