Quote: What kind of system is it when...

"It is recognized by its determination to covert all public services to private entrepreneurship; all non-profit organizations to profit-making ones--so that the narrow but protective chasm between governance and business disappears.

It changes citizens into taxpayers--so individuals become angry at even the notion of the public good.

It changes neighbors into customers--so the measure of our value as humans is not humanity or our compassion or our generosity, but what we own."

--Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate & Author
