Quote #11 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Society and Institutions
“...so entrenched are the interests involved, commercial, institutional and scientific, and so pervasive the influence of modern communications, that economic growth has embedded itself in the ethos of our civilization. Despite the manifest disamenities caused by the postwar economic expansion, no one today seeking to advance his position in the hierarchy of government or business fails to pay homage to this sovereign concept.”
