"Every time economic and technical development takes a step forward, forces emerge which attempt to create political forms for what, on the economic-technical plane, has already more or less become reality"

- Christian Lous Lange

About this Quote

In this quote, Christian Lous Lange is highlighting the consistent battle between financial and technical progress and the requirement for political structures to overtake these advancements. He suggests that as society moves forward in terms of economic and technological advancement, there will always be opposing forces that try to shape political systems to fit the brand-new reality. This can be viewed as a natural reaction to alter and the desire to maintain control and power. Lange's words also imply that political forms are frequently lagging behind the economic and technical truths, causing tension and dispute. Ultimately, this quote talks to the interconnectedness of various aspects of society and the need for balance and adjustment in the face of development.
