More quotes by William Greider
The problem of modern democracy is rooted in its neglect of unorganized people.
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.
William Greider
In its present terms, the global system values property over human life.
William Greider
Everyone cares for disabled people, right? What they don't care for are genuine civil rights for disabled people. MARY JOHNSON tells the tortuous, enraging story of how Congress enacted a law that instead of protecting against discrimination has turned 'the disabled' into a political punching bag.
William Greider
The do-it-yourself version of pensions is a flop, as many Americans have painfully learned.
William Greider
In 1900 Americans on average lived for only 49 years and most working people died still on the job.
William Greider
If everyone has to be a watchdog in order to make government work, then the foxes will also volunteer to serve.
William Greider
Children born today have a fifty-fifty chance of living to 100.
William Greider
If one benefits tangibly from the exploitation of others who are weak, is one morally implicated in their predicament? Or are basic rights of human existence confined to the civilized societies that are wealthy enough to afford them? Our values are defined by what we will tolerate when it is done to others.
William Greider
The economy is not governed with the bottom half in mind.
William Greider
Democracy begins in human conversation. A democratic conversation does not require elaborate rules of procedure or utopian notions of perfect consensus. What it does require is a spirit of mutual respect-people conversing critically with one another in an atmosphere of honesty and shared regard.
William Greider
When self-important people and powerful institutions are governed by illusion, history has a way of biting back.
William Greider
People know elections, like television commercials, are not real.
William Greider
Money is power in American politics. It always has been.
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
Folks in the bottom half of the economy are already squeezed hard. They will be bloodied and bankrupt if economic policy inadvertently induces a recession.
William Greider
A newly elected representative quickly discovers that his job in government-aside from making new laws-is to act as a broker, middleman, special pleader and finagler.
William Greider
Creating a positive future begins in human conversation. The simplest and most powerful investment any member of a community or an organisation can make is to begin with other people as though the answers mattered.
William Greider
Efficiency obliterates identity
William Greider
Democracy is held captive, not just by money, but by ideas - the ideas that money buys.
William Greider
