Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism.
Alain Badiou

Liberal democracy - as you know, in the old days, we were saying we want socialism with a human face. Today's left effectively offers global capitalism with a human face, more tolerance, more rights and so on. So the question is, is this enough or not? Here I remain a Marxist: I think not.
Slavoj Zizek

The basic law of capitalism is you or I, not both you and I.
Karl Liebknecht

The cure for capitalism's failing would require that a government would have to rise above the interests of one class alone.
Robert Heilbroner

The decadent international but individualistic capitalism in the hands of which we found ourselves after the war is not a success. It is not intelligent. It is not beautiful. It is not just. It is not virtuous. And it doesn't deliver the goods.
John Maynard Keynes

The dynamics of capitalism is postponement of enjoyment to the constantly postponed future.
Norman O. Brown

The historical debate is over. The answer is free-market capitalism.
Thomas Friedman

The ideology of capitalism makes us all into connoisseurs of liberty - of the indefinite expansion of possibility.
Susan Sontag
