Time Preference - Social Anarchist Views

Social Anarchist Views

They argue that the theory fails to take into account that making profits in a capitalist society is not the provision of future means of consumption, but rather profits for their own sake.

Famous quotes containing the words social, anarchist and/or views:

    The one prudence in life is concentration; the one evil is dissipation: and it makes no difference whether our dissipations are coarse or fine; property and its cares, friends and a social habit, or politics, or music, or feasting. Everything is good which takes away one plaything and delusion more, and drives us home to add one stroke of faithful work.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
