Quotes

• “Never trust an economist with your job. Learn about economics yourself. And make up your own mind about what might protect your job – and what might destroy it.”
• “Forget about the market updates. Here's a better way to find out about the economy-your economy. Take a walk. And ask some questions.”
• “Economics is a social science, not a physical science.”
• “Capitalism, in contrast, has existed for fewer than 300 years. If the entire history of Homo sapiens was a 24-hour day, then capitalism has existed for two minutes.”
• “Economic systems come, and economic systems go. No economic system lasts forever. Capitalism is not likely to last forever, either.”
