When you think of all the conflicts we have – whether those conflicts are local, whether they are regional or global – these conflicts are often over the management, the distribution of resources.

Wangari Maathai

I consider myself an inventor first and an entrepreneur second. In real life, my hero is Thomas Edison.

Aaron Patzer

If you look at film, distribution is pre-bought. If you’ve paid for the distribution, you say, ‘I have to make sure it’s a film that gets enough butts in the seats.’ I think that’s the problem: It becomes prohibitively expensive, and you can’t develop films for a smaller amount of money.
Shane Smith

John Battelle

Increasing inequality in income distribution in this country has broader policy implications, and there is also the growing problem of perverse incentives that result from executives receiving grossly disproportionate compensation based on decisions they themselves take.
Barney Frank

Richard Neal

I had business experience. I had made my living designing and building electronic equipment. Basic business was not new to me, but the music business was completely new to me. I knew nothing about distribution, or any of those things.

Nassau William Senior

Many writers upon the science of political economy have declared that it is the duty of a nation first to encourage the creation of wealth; and second, to direct and control its distribution. All such theories are delusive.
Leland Stanford

The only distribution of wealth which is the product of labor, which will be honest, will come through a more equal distribution of the productive capacity of men.
Leland Stanford

The production of wealth is the result of agreement between labor and capital, between employer and employed. Its distribution, therefore, will follow the law of its creation, or great injustice will be done.
