The socialism of centralised state control of industry and production, is dead. It misunderstood the nature and development of a modern market economy.

The whites have the intelligence, the property, and the courage which make power. The negroes are for the most part ignorant, poor, and timid. My view is that the whites must be divided there before a better state of things will prevail. Rutherford B. Hayes

views sides determined
True negotiation takes place when each side respects the other, and their point of view, and enters into the discussion positively.
