John Dewey: “The new technology applied in production and commerce resulted in a social revolution.”

In no two ages or places is there the same public.

Wealth and security are the natural rewards of economic virtues.

There are even those who hold that the presumption is always that social loss will result from agents of the public doing anything which could be done by persons in their private capacity.

In this distinction we find the germ of the distinction between the private and the public.
