But the fighting never settles the question. It only gets the participants around to a frame of mind where they will agree to discuss what they were fighting about.
lying opportunity age
What we are entering is a power age, and the importance of the power age lies in its ability, rightly used with the wage motive behind it, to increase and cheapen production so that all of us may have more of this world's goods. The way to liberty, the way to equality of opportunity, the way from empty phrases to actualities, lies through power
