By definition, design, and practice, capitalism is a system that concentrates economic power in the hands of the few to the exclusion of the many.

The next time you go shopping, demand more change.

Image
I traveled enormously during the 1960's, when you measured everything by where you traveled and what you did as travelers.
Anita Roddick
Image
We entrepreneurs are loners, vagabonds, troublemakers. Success is simply a matter of finding and surrounding ourselves with those open-minded and clever souls who can take our insanity and put it to good use.
Anita Roddick
Image
You've got to be hungry - for ideas, to make things happen and to see your vision made into reality
Anita Roddick
Image
Be courageous. It's one of the only places left uncrowded.
Anita Roddick
Image
I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.

Anita Roddick
Image
We are honest about our methods and our mistakes. We are not perfect - it isn't possible to be perfect - but we are trying to go in the right direction and in those circumstances, it's best not to mystify what we are trying to do.
Anita Roddick
Image
There has been a real influence on young people, whose travel is experiential. For them, their values change when their experiences change travel is like a university without walls.
Anita Roddick
Image
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses and made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently . . . This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.
Anita Roddick
Image
I think it is completely immoral for a shop to trade in the middle of a community, to take money and make profits from that community and then ignore the existence of that community, its needs and problems.
Anita Roddick
Image
I am aware that success is more than a good idea. It is timing too.
Anita Roddick
Image
we can wake up one morning and find that the technology of this virtual, inter-connected world wasn't the liberating force we thought, but binds us ever more tightly under the control of the money men.
Anita Roddick
Image
I think the leadership of a company should encourage the next generation not just to follow, but to overtake.
Anita Roddick
Image
With fewer and fewer corporations controlling more and more of the world's trade, there is an ever greater need to know more about the practices of these large faceless organizations.
