| Professor Quigley was a Globalist, he supported the idea NEW WORLD ORDER and wrote about it, he, unlike the elites, thought the people should know about it. "The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements, arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds' central banks which were themselves private corporations. The growth of financial capitalism made possible a centralization of world economic control and use of this power for the direct benefit of financiers and the indirect injury of all other economic groups." Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World in Our Time (Macmillan Company, 1966,) Professor Carroll Quigley of Georgetown University "The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which originated in England ... [and] ... believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established." Dr. Carroll Quigley |
These are just the thoughts of a middle aged American who teaches history and thinks philosophy is a worthy pursuit

What is the world?
Currently thinking about what Ortega has said about the subject in Man and Crisis, p.39:
"...this world of collective beliefs...has a peculiar character not possessed by the the world of individual beliefs; namely it is valid for itself regardless of and sometimes despite our acceptance of it...the concepts of the times, the ambient convictions, are held by an anonymous subject who is no one in particular; this is society. And those concepts have force and validity even though I may not accept them--that force makes itself felt on me, even though negatively....I must take account of them in my life, just as I must take account of the wall which will not let me pass...
p. 40: "world is merely the system of convictions in force at that date"
Knowing this system of convictions would help explain the visible actions and internal monologue of, say, an inhabitant of Rome during the time of Marcus Aurelius. But is this system held in common by all classes, or are there slightly different map depending on wealth and class? And besides, what determines wealth and class, if not this system of convictions?
Quick thought about our times? Is evolutionary thought part of, or not part of our world? And in economics, is socialism dead because "it's been tried and has failed?"
