"When your country recognizes... the rules of the free market
in today's global economy, and decides to abide by them, it puts on what I call 'the Golden Straitjacket.' The Golden Straitjacket is the defining political-economic garment of this globalization era. The Cold War had the Mao suit, the Nehru jacket, the Russian fur. Globalization has only the Golden Straitjacket. If your country has not been fitted for one, it will be soon."
Milton Friedman

"For there was an extreme inequality among them, and their state was overloaded with a multitude of indigent and necessitous persons, while its whole wealth had centered upon a very few. To the end, therefore, that he might expel from the state arrogance and envy, luxury and crime, and those yet more inveterate diseases of want and superfluity, he obtained of them to renounce their properties, and to consent to a new division of the land, and that they should all live together on an equal footing; merit to be their only road to eminence."
— Plutarch, Lycurgus

Ethical or moral pathos and materialist economic reality combine in every typical liberal manifestation and give every political concept a double face. Thus the political concept of battle in liberal thought becomes competition in the domain of economics and discussion in the intellectual realm. Instead of a clear distinction between the two different states, that of war and that of peace, there appears the dynamic of perpetual competition and perpetual discussion. The state turns into society: on the ethical-intellectual side into an ideological humanitarian conception of humanity, and on the other into an economic-technical system of production and traffic. The self-understood will to repel the enemy in a given battle situation turns into a rationally constructed social ideal or program, a tendency or an economic calculation. A politically united people becomes, on the one hand, a culturally interested public, and, on the other, partially an industrial concern and its employers, partially a mass of consumers. At the intellectual pole, government and power turns into propaganda and mass manipulation, and at the economic pole, control.
Carl Schmitt, Concept Of The Political

"Liberiamoci dall’Occidente che non ci ama e non ci vuole. Volgiamo le spalle all’Occidente che ogni giorno più si sterilisce e s’infetta e si disonora in ostinate ingiustizie e in ostinate servitù. Separiamoci dall’Occidente degenere che, dimentico d’aver contenuto nel suo nome «lo splendore dello spirito senza tramonto», è divenuto una immensa banca giudea in servizio della spietata plutocrazia transatlantica. L'Italia che «sola è grande e sola è pura» l'Italia delusa, l'Italia tradita, l'Italia povera si volga di nuovo all'Oriente dove fu fiso lo sguardo de' suoi secoli più fieri"
Gabriele D'Annunzio
