"Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars……" — Eduardo Galeano
"Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. They are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of God, or civilization or progress. But all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars."
