Discrimination
Quotes
Discrimination is against the interests of business � yet business people too often practice it... they erect barriers to the free flow of capital and labor to their most profitable employment, and the distribution of output is distorted. In the end, costs are higher, less real output is produced, and national wealth accumulation is slowed.

It's still harder for a woman to get up her own business than it is to get money for a new car, or certainly a new kitchen.
Quoted in The Adventure Capitalists (1998)
