Once constituted, capital reproduces itself faster than output increases. The past devours the future.

There is a fundamentalist belief by capitalists that capital will save the world, and it just isn't so.

Income from labor [in the United States] is about as unequally distributed as has ever been observed anywhere.

All told, over the period 1932-1980, nearly half a century, the top federal income tax rate in the United States averaged 81 percent.

I don't pretend that I can predict the future value of the growth rate or rate of return.

We want capitalism and market forces to be the slave of democracy rather than the opposite.
