Immanuel Wallerstein

"For the other end of the spectrum, the 50 to 85 percent of the world's population who are not the recipients of privilege, the world they know is almost certainly worse than any their earlier counterparts knew. It is likely they are worse off materially, despite the technological changes. In substantive as opposed to formal terms, they are more, not less, subject to arbitrary constraints, since the central mechanisms are more pervasive and more efficient. And they bear the brunt of the various kinds of psychic malaise, as well as of the destructiveness of civil wars."

-- Immanuel Wallerstein

“Donâ€™t sign on for more problems than you must. Resist the temptation to involve yourself in other peopleâ€™s zones of expertise and responsibility. Monitor troublesome situations if you need to, but donâ€™t insert yourself unless youâ€™re running out of time and a solution is nowhere in sight. In short, stifle your inner control freak.”
