Mission Statement
Social justice
through maximum productivity
with full employment;
an alternative to the failed prescriptions of economists
| "When the cost of fulfilling a people's aspirations can be met out of a growing horn of plenty--instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul--ideological roadblocks melt away, and consensus replaces conflict. ...In the battle against discrimination, prosperity adds economic rights to civil rights." -Walter W. Heller, Chairman, Council of Economic Advisors to the Kennedy/Johnson Administration, "New Dimensions of Political Economy", Harvard University Press. |
| If we address "sophisticated and technical questions" with "ideological preconceptions", we will land "in the bog of sterile acrimony". "The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived, and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forbears. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -President John F. Kennedy 1962, Yale Commencement Address |
