...mystical belief that the sanctity of France depends on the stability of the franc. As he put it in 1963: "Neither Italy nor Belgium has a government. The United Kingdom and Germany are on the eve of not having one. We are the only country that is stable and sound; this I have brought, and it will last after...
...SLIGHTLY CYNICAL, Goodwin's solution may seem based more on faith than on sound strategy. Local regulatory agencies can hardly match the financial or legal power of corporations that value profit more than zoning, productivity more than preserving jobs.

On politics: "It is patronizing for white liberals to swing along with the Black Panther Party...
...that Aussies love, would like to see the same sort of teamwork in the economy. David Fairbairn, Minister for National Development, notes that many large companies, "particularly in oil and motor vehicles, have been established here for many years, making substantial profits from Australia's political stability and sound economic management." But, says Fairbairn, they have not made many moves to take in Australian investors, partners or managers. "This is not partnership," he says...
