"The global market selects out a tiny group of privileged babies who are born in certain parts of certain towns in certain countries, and these babies are allowed to lead privileged lives. Some will be scientists, some will be bankers. Some will command, rule, and grow fantastically rich, and others will become more modestly paid intellectuals or teachers or artists. But all the members of this tiny group will have the chance to develop their minds and realize their talents."

" ... the division of labor, as now practiced, is inherently immoral, and we must somehow learn a different way to share out all the work that needs to be done."

from "Why I Call Myself a Socialist: Is the World Really a Stage?"
