Capitalism

"I guess it's women who hold capitalism together, keep economies ticking over with their 'If somebody's gone to the trouble of making a new thing I should go to the trouble of buying it' kind of attitude. If it was up to blokes, stuck in their sheds with their hobbies and saying things like 'Why do we need that, darling?" the wheels would soon come off the free-market juggernaut."
