  "At the very time that economists are citing the efficiency of 'life-time' Japanese employees, American businesses are rapidly turning their labor force into temps. Discarding old ideas about the value of loyalty & continuity, many American companies now hire typists, technicians, janitors, book-keepers, artists, editors, programmers, engineers & even executives by the project, by the hour or by the piece." --- Barbara Garson 1988 _The Electronic SweatShop_ pg 226

  "Whereas between 1980 and 1981 there were 16 months of [reduction in GDP], in the 1981-1989 period, GDP growth averaged 3.2%. In addition, the [minimum payments on] the government debt came down. Government spending held steady as a share of the growing [GDP], even as it rose in absolute terms." --- Jeffrey E. Garten 2016 _From Silk to Silicon: The Story of Globalization through 10 ExtraOrdinary Lives_ pg257

  "The back-settlers had little tolerance for those who broke their own rules. They dealt harshly with social deviance by a ritual which they called 'hating out'. Kercheval explained 'the punishment for idleness, lying, dishonesty and ill-fame generally was that of hating the offender out, as they expressed it... a gneral sentiment of indignation against such as transgressed the moral maxims of the community'. Hating out could take many forms." --- David Hackett Fischer 1989, 1991 _Albion's Seed_ pg764 (citing Samuel Kercheval, Charles James Faulkner, John Jeremiah Jacob 1833, 1902, 2002 _An History of the Valley of Virginia_ pg292)
