Economic progress tends to become depersonalised and automatized. Bureau and committee work tends to replace individual action. If capitalist evolution—"progress"—either ceases or becomes completely automatic, the economic basis of the industrial bourgeoisie will be reduced to wages paid for current administrative work. His position, like that of the (Medieval) warrior class, is threatened as soon as this function in the social process loses its importance... those needs are being served by other, more impersonal, methods.

The true pacemakers of socialism are not the intellectuals or agitators who preached it but the Vanderbilts, Carnegies, and Rockerfellers.
