"The great revolution in the world today is not Communism. That is a reactionary, historic force. The great revolution is the power of economic abundance.
"For centuries the world has been struggling to divide up economic scarcity, and for the first time we have the tools of abundance with which to meet mankind's basic economic and material needs, and if we will use these tools intelligently, with a sense of social and moral responsibility, they will enable us to solve mankind's basic material needs, and then we can devote greater time and energy and effort to facilitating man's growth as a social and cultural and spiritual being, which is the real meaning of life on this earth."
-Walter P. Reuther (1907-1970)
