Nothing can convince me that people are at one with their work unless they're joyous about it.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It's the same story as when we nationalized the banks. I'm not for nationalization because of the rhetoric of nationalization, or because I see in nationalization the cure-all for every injustice. I'm for nationalization in cases where it's necessary.
