Steven Magee
“If you want to commit a crime and get away with it, become the President of the United States of America.”
Steven Magee

Immanuel Wallerstein
“The capitalist world-economy needs the states, needs the interstate system, and needs the periodic appearance of hegemonic powers. But the priority of capitalists is never the maintenance, much less the glorification, of any of these structures. The priority remains always the endless accumulation of capital, and this is best achieved by an ever-shifting set of political and cultural dominances within which capitalist firms maneuver, obtaining their support from the states but seeking to escape their dominance.”
Immanuel Wallerstein, World-Systems Analysis: An Introduction
