Coisas a não esquecer

«Though the architects of the welfare state had not stressed the point, economic stagnation and instability may occur not only because the capitalist class is 'too strong' but also because it is 'too weak'. When the capitalist class is 'too strong' it shifts the income in its favor, reducing the ratio of working-class consumption to national income and rendering the economy prone to a failure of total demand. By contrast, when the capitalist class is 'too weak' the working class or ther claimants on income squeeze the rate of profit and reduce the level of investment (perhaps by inducing to seek greener pastures elsewhere)».
