I also believe — and hope — that pol­i­tics and eco­nom­ics will cease to be as impor­tant in the future as they have been in the past; the time will come when most of our present con­tro­ver­sies on these mat­ters will seem as triv­ial, or as mean­ing­less, as the the­o­log­i­cal debates in which the keen­est minds of the Mid­dle Ages dis­si­pated their ener­gies. Pol­i­tics and eco­nom­ics are con­cerned with power and wealth, nei­ther of which should be the pri­mary, still less the exclu­sive, con­cern of adult human beings.”

Pro­files Of The Future, Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (1917−2008)
