Quotation of the Day for March 17, 2017



"Innovation was the driving force behind [the] new era, sometimes personified by Wall Street, on other occasions by Silicon Valley. The place where the magic happened was "the ideopolis": the postindustrial city, where highly credentialed professionals advised clients, taught college students, wrote software, cracked mortgage-backed securities--and were served in turn by an army of retail greeters and latte foamers who were proud to share their betters' values."

- Thomas Frank, from his book, Listen, Liberal: Or, What Ever Happened to the Party of the People?
