William Greider
The burnt odor in Washington is from the disintegrating authority of the governing classes.
William Greider

William Greider
The problem of modern democracy is rooted in its neglect of unorganized people.
William Greider
If you think about it, Washington's overwhelming power in the world is founded on death, the awesome arsenal for killing people.

William Greider
The economy is not governed with the bottom half in mind.
William Greider
In the deregulated realm of US banking and finance, crime does occasionally pay for its foul deeds, not in prison time but by making modest rebates to the victims.
William Greider
The rich nations of the world are acting like ancient usurers, lending money to the desperate poor on terms that cannot possibly be met and, thus, steadily acquiring more and more control over the lives and assets of the poor.
William Greider
Aside from sending someone to war or to prison, government s ability to make people involuntarily give over their money is its strongest exercise of authority over private citizens and their institutions.
William Greider
The scandalous question that hangs over modern government and excites perpetual outrage is about political money and what it buys. What exactly do these contributors get in return for the hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars they funnel to the politicians?
William Greider
The threat to globalization is not the wasted American dollars but Washington's readiness to mix US commercial interests with its self-appointed role as global protector.
