Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or development:

    The American suffrage movement has been, until very recently, altogether a parlor affair, absolutely detached from the economic needs of the people.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.
    Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
