Economic Social

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or social:

    The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    I have the conviction that excessive literary production is a social offence.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
