Those who exercise power a1ways arrange matters so as to give their tyranny the appearance ofjustice. (La Fontaine 1668, cited in Gunder Frank, 2005)

... are standing on the major fault line of contemporary capitalist societies between what may be crudely expressed as a 'Iogic of capitalism' (social investment, the ideology of private property, etc) and a 'Iogic of socialism' (social consumption, the ideology of social need, etc). (Sandercock and Berry, 1983, p. xi)
