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
Americans cannot teach democracy to the world until they restore their own.
William Greider
Democracy is held captive, not just by money, but by ideas - the ideas that money buys.
William Greider
In its present terms, the global system values property over human life.
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
