Quotes about running
running pie long
Since the 1980s, we have given the rich a bigger slice of our pie in the belief that they would create more wealth, making the pie bigger than otherwise possible in the long run.

Equality of opportunity is absolutely necessary but not sufficient in building a genuinely fair and efficient society.
