James K. Galbraith Quote

The Predatory State is an economic system where entire sectors have been built up to feast upon public systems built originally for public purposes and largely serving the middle class. The corporate republic simply administers the spoils system. On a day-today basis, the business of its leadership is to deliver favors to their clients. These range from coal companies to sweatshop operators to military contractors.
