Perhaps it is historically true that no order of society ever perishes save by its own hand.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The difficulty lies, not in t...

The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

I think that Capitalism, wise...

I think that Capitalism, wisely managed, can probably be made more efficient for attaining economic ends than any alternative system yet in sight, but that in itself is in many ways extremely objectionable.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The engine which drives enter...

The engine which drives enterprise is not thrift, but profit.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

It is astonishing what foolis...

It is astonishing what foolish things one can temporarily believe if one thinks too long alone, particularly in economics.

I wish I'd drunk more champagne.

Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The political problem of mank...

The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice and individual liberty.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Canada is a place of infinite...

Canada is a place of infinite promise. We like the people, and if one ever had to emigrate, this would be the destination, not the U.S.A. The hills, lakes and forests make it a place of peace and repose of the mind, such as one never finds in the U.S.A.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Investing is an activity of f...

Investing is an activity of forecasting the yield over the life of the asset; speculation is the activity of forecasting the psychology of the market.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

A conventional valuation whic...

A conventional valuation which is established as the outcome of the mass psychology of a large number of ignorant individuals is liable to change violently as the result of a sudden fluctuation of opinion due to factors which do not really make much difference to the prospective yield; since there will be no strong roots of conviction to hold it steady.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Should government refrain fro...

Should government refrain from regulation (taxation), the worthlessness of the money becomes apparent and the fraud can no longer be concealed.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

When the accumulation of weal...

When the accumulation of wealth is no longer of high social importance, there will be great changes in the code of morals. We shall be able to rid ourselves of many of the pseudo-moral principles which have hag-ridden us for two hundred years, by which we have exulted some of the most distasteful of human qualities into the highest virtues.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Lenin is said to have declare...

Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalistic System was to debauch the currency. . . Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million can diagnose.

The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The important thing for Government is not to do things which individuals are doing already, and to do them a little better or a little worse; but to do those things which at present are not done at all.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Gold is a relic from a time when government's were less trustworthy in these matters (currency debasement) than they are now.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

By this means (fractional res...

By this means (fractional reserve banking) government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

They offer me neither food no...

They offer me neither food nor drink - intellectual nor spiritual consolation... [Conservatism] leads nowhere; it satisfies no ideal; it conforms to no intellectual standard, it is not safe, or calculated to preserve from the spoilers that degree of civilization which we have already attained.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

To our generation Einstein has been made to become a double symbol - a symbol of the mind travelling in the cold regions of space, and a symbol of the brave and generous outcast, pure in heart and cheerful of spirit.
