Science, Data and Theories – Quote by Guy Consolmagno

Charles Wright Mills Quotes on Centralization of Economy, Politics, and Military
“The economy – once a great scatter of small productive units in autonomous balance, has become dominated by two or three hundred giant corporations, administratively and politically interrelated… The political order, once a decentralized set of several dozen states with a weak spinal cord, has become a centralized executive establishment which has taken up into itself many powers previously scattered… The military order, once a slim establishment in a context of distrust fed by state militia, has become the largest and most expensive feature of government.”
Charles Wright Mills
