Capitalist Quote by Kerry James Marshall

“The first freedom is to be in possession of yourself - to own yourself, to not be subject to the will of somebody else. In a capitalist society, that means having a certain economic wherewithal so that you can do what you wish to do without having to ask permission.” quote by Kerry James Marshall — Download Open image
