"At the beginning of the novel, it [Milo's syndicate] is merely a system that gets fresh eggs to his mess hall by buying them in Sicily for one cent, selling them to Malta for four and a half cents, buying them back for seven cents, and finally selling them to the mess halls for five cents."
- ktizo 15y agoThe character of Milo Minderbinder is one of the greatest satires of laissez-faire capitalism ever created. "In a democracy, the government is the people," Milo explained.

Frankly, I’d like to see the government get out of war altogether and leave the whole field to private industry."
