Capital Quotes
New York is obviously the capital of theater.
Colin Callender
A number of factors coalesced to make larger and larger firms more economical. The development of new production processes, such as assembly line, means that jobs could be specialized and more work could be accomplished. New technologies and sources of power became readily available. Demographic factors began to favor concentration of production in urban areas. These and other social and political forces require larger amounts of capital, well beyond the scope of most individual owner-manager-employee.

Ben Bernanke
If, for example, each of us had the same share of capital in the national total capital, then if the share of capital goes up it's not a problem, because you get as much as I do. The problem is that capital in capitalist countries is very heavily concentrated, especially financial capital. So then if the share of income from that source goes up, that actually exacerbates inequality.

If we didn’t have finance, though? Forget the 1970s—try the 1270s. Economic progress emerges from the intelligent combination of capital and innovation. Remove capital from the equation—and the financial markets that accumulate and direct that capital into the hands of innovators—and the result is poverty and stagnation.
Yaron Brook
There is always a critical job to be done. There is a sales door to be opened, a credit line to be established, a new important employee to be found, or a business technique to be learned. The venture investor must always be on call to advise, to persuade, to dissuade, to encourage, but always to help build. Then venture capital becomes true creative capital - creating growth for the company and financial success for the investing organization.
Georges Doriot
This is our nation's capital. To have Major League Baseball return to our nation's capital has a special significance, ...
