“Everyone is important... My God, what if it were true?"
"Everyone possesses self-interest in a narrow sense: I want what’s good for me right now! Self-interest ‘properly understood’ is different. It means appreciating that paying attention to everyone else’s self-interest — in other words, the common welfare — is in fact a precondition for one’s own ultimate well-being.
The common good and common sense have been sacrificed on the altar of corporate profit over the past three decades.
At last this process has hit a counterforce, as more and more people reoccupy the public domain and demand a shift in national direction. For now, we all belong to the abandoned class."
"We can’t live like this. None of us can."
