Capitalism designates an economic system significantly characterized by the predominance of capital. Capitalism and double entry bookkeeping are absolutely indissociable their relationship to each other is that of form to content.
Werner Sombart

Capital will always go where it’s welcome and stay where it’s well treated. Capital is not just money. It’s also talent and ideas. They, too, will go where they’re welcome and stay where they are well treated.

Henry Ford
Image
Capital punishment would be more effective as a preventive measure if it were administered prior to the crime.
Woody Allen

capital is the result of saving, and not of spending. The spendthrift who wastes his substance in riotous living decreases the capital of the country, and therefore the excuse often made for extravagance, that it is good for trade, is based upon false notions respecting capital.
Millicent Fawcett
Image
Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Image
Capital punishment in my view achieved nothing except revenge.

Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protection as any other right.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Capital does not 'beget profit' as Marx thought. The capital goods as such are dead things that in themselves do not accomplish anything. If they are utilized according to a good idea, profit results. If they are utilized according to a mistaken idea, no profit or losses result. It is the entrepreneurial decision that creates either profit or loss.
Ludwig von Mises
Image
Capital is not a free gift of God or of nature. It is the outcome of a provident restriction of consumption on the part of man. It is created and increased by saving and maintained by the abstention from dissaving.
Ludwig von Mises
Image
Capital punishment turns the state into a murderer. But imprisonment turns the state into a gay dungeon-master.
Jesse Jackson
Image
Capital isn't scarce vision is.
Sam Walton
Image
Capital goes to where it can escape taxation and be used to pay employees in sacks of rice.
Walter Wriston
Image
Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Capital punishment? It makes no sense as a policy: It's not a deterrent, and economically it's a disaster. It's very clear that there are innocent people on death row. And if I put an innocent person to death, that's murder.
Tony Goldwyn
