Quotations

"[T]he Great War and its appalling consequences have led us to believe that just the private holding of capital, such as we have done up to the present time, lies at the root of nearly all the social and economic trouble in the world to-day." (Archive Kees Boeke; photo onderwijsvernieuwers3.wikispaces.com)
