Samuel Bowles III

American Journalist, Publisher, Writer and Editor of The Republican

"The cause of freedom is the cause of God."

"There's a strange music in the stirring wind."

"Journalism has already come to be the first power in the land."

"The political perspective of this book, ironically, is the progeny of the progressive potential of capitalism as an historical system. The joint possibility of universal material well-being and the democratization of society is a product of the capitalist era. But the history of capitalism is a chronicle of the tension between possibilities and limits: democracy and universal affluence in perpetual and ubiquitous conflict with class domination - itself a product of the social organization of capitalist production."
