Major System

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or system:

“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
