  John Maynard Keynes

With thanks to Charles Small for drawing this to my attention:

Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all.
               -- John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946)

  Quitting Time
 Gone With The Wind (1939):

"Quittin' time!"
"Who says it's quittin' time?  I says it's quittin' time. I's the foreman and I's the one who says when it's quittin' time at Tara. Quittin' time! Quittin' time!"

The Globe and Mail this morning (above the masthead): 

The words: "Quitting Time" beside a headshot of Oprah Winfrey.

Idiots.
