Quote #6 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Economics and Depressions

“...after having followed them [the economists] so far, we are none the wiser, and if we ask them: "How is it that millions of human beings are in want of bread, when every family could grow sufficient wheat to feed ten, twenty, and even a hundred people annually?" they answer us by droning the same anthem- division of labor, wages, surplus value, capital, etc.- arriving at the same conclusion, that production is insufficient to satisfy all needs; a conclusion which, if true, does not answer the question: "Can or cannot man by his labor produce the bread he needs? And if he cannot, what is hindering him?"”
