Tycoons Quotes By Howard Fast

Could be off one of your own boats, Lavette," Whittier said. "The crab I mean." Whittier was hostile, contriving his hostility in witless remarks.

Politicians compete for the highest offices. Business tycoons scramble for a bigger and bigger piece of the pie.

Tycoons Quotes By Noam Chomsky

Suppose that humans happen to be so constructed that they desire the opportunity for freely undertaken productive work. Suppose that they want to be free from the meddling of technocrats and commissars, bankers and tycoons, mad bombers who engage in psychological tests of will with peasants defending their homes, behavioral scientists who can't tell a pigeon from a poet, or anyone else who tries to wish freedom and dignity out of existence or beat them into oblivion. — Noam Chomsky

Morris
