A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
“Say’s Law,” which claims there is a necessary equilibrium between buying and selling or that supply necessarily induces an equal demand, is only valid when the circulation of commodities (mediated by money) is equated with direct barter: only then does each “sale” coincide with a simultaneous “purchase.” Thus when classical and neoclassical economics purport to substantiate the claim of an inherently crisis-free capitalism, they basically assume a capitalism without money.
An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx's Capital
Michael Heinrich
The man who focuses on efforts and who stresses his downward authority is a subordinate no matter how exalted his title and rank. But __the man who focuses on contribution and who takes responsibility for results, no matter how junior, is in the most literal sense of the phrase, “top management.”__ He holds himself accountable for the performance of the whole.
The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker
Since there is little control over public expression of ideas (though there is plenty of control over the resources with which to communicate those ideas e.g. access to television, university tenure, etc.), the formulation of the ideas themselves must be constrained. In other words, __what is thinkable must be controlled so that when people manifest their rights of expression they will rarely express thoughts subversive to defining social relations.__
