Quotations: Craig Richardson – There are three effects of attenuating private property rights that ultimately change individuals’ perceptions in a drastic way. First, there is the loss of trust in the government to enforce the law, which dramatically affects foreign investors’ views of the country. Second, the loss of property titles dramatically limits the amount of borrowing and entrepreneurial activity by disrupting the banking sector. Individuals no longer can offer banks their property as collateral for a loan. Third, there is the loss in the incentive to pass along entrepreneurial knowledge, and work initiatives are sharply stymied as well, since one’s investment is not retained.

Eugene Ionesco – Realism, whether it be socialist or not, falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it and falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.
