Economic Base

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or base:

“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

“Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
