Dean Baker Quotes
The elites hate to acknowledge it, but when large numbers of ordinary people are moved to action, it changes the narrow political world where the elites call the shots.

It was the civil rights movement, not compelling arguments, that convinced members of Congress to end legal racial discrimination.Dean Baker
