FQ.05.51: Favorite Quote for This Week

The primary economic conflict, I think, is between people whose interests are with already well-established economic activities, and those whose interests are with the emergence of new economic activities.  This is a conflict that can never be put to rest except by economic stagnation...  The only possible way to keep open the economic opportunities for new activities is for a "third force" to protect their weak and still incipient interests.  Only governments can play this economic role. 
—Jane Jacobs
