More quotes by 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
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
The present struggle seems less about abolishing big government than about who gets to use it.
William Greider
The economy is not governed with the bottom half in mind.
William Greider
A profound political question is suddenly on the table: Must the country continue to give precedence to private financial gain and market determinism over human lives and broad public values?
William Greider

William Greider
The regime of globalization promotes an unfettered marketplace as the dynamic instrument organizing international relations.
William Greider

William Greider
The problem of modern democracy is rooted in its neglect of unorganized people.
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
Leaks and whispers are a daily routine of news-gathering in Washington.
William Greider
The ways in which people treat animals will be reflected in how people relate to one another.
William Greider
Money is power in American politics. It always has been.
William Greider
People know elections, like television commercials, are not real.
William Greider
Americans cannot teach democracy to the world until they restore their own.
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
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
If US per capita income continues to grow at a rate of 1.5 percent a year, the country will have plenty of money to finance comfortable retirements and high-quality healthcare for all citizens, including those at the bottom of the wage ladder.
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
