promises to 'get tough' on crime and to bring law and order back to
the streetsŠ.There is no question that common street crime is an
important social concern. But its image has become so bloated in the
mirror of public opinion that it blocks our view of the white collar
crimes which are both more costly and more dangerous to
society."<br>

" Š the main dangers to the success of capitalism are the very
people who would consider themselves its most ardent advocates : the
bosses of companies, the owners of companies, and the politicians who
tirelessly insist that they are 'pro-business'."<br>
<br>
"Many of the corporate scandals that America, especially, has
endured in recent years reflect outright criminality. A lawful order
knows what to do with criminals, and pro-business politicians are in
truth militantly anti-capitalist if they flinch from cracking down on
bosses' crimes."<br>
<br>
"Š widespread and quite outrageous abuse, by capitalists, of
capitalism Š The danger exists everywhere in the world, but it
matters most in the United States."</font><br>
