Linda McQuaig Quote

The public-choice theorists would have us believe that nobody ever gets involved in governments or the political arena out of a desire to accomplish public goals.... Needless to say, the notion that citizens would voluntarily band together to fight injustice and poverty in faraway parts of the world is incomprehensible to this kind of thinking. This perhaps explains the frequent attempt to dismiss those in the anti-globalization movement as nothing more than a group of self-seeking opportunists - as if there is some kind of money to be made in championing debt elimination for the Third World.
