National Consumer

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or consumer:

“Being a gentleman is the number one priority, the chief question integral to our national life.”
—Edward Fox (b. 1934)

“The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied ... but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
