It is better that a man should tyrannize over his bank balance than over his fellow-citizens.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Unlike physics, for example, s...

Unlike physics, for example, such parts of the bare bones of economic theory as are expressible in mathematical form are extremely easy compared with the economic interpretation of the complex and incompletely known facts of experience, and lead one a very little way towards establishing useful results.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

It economics is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique of thinking which helps its possessor to draw correct conclusions.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Too large a proportion of rece...

Too large a proportion of recent 'mathematical' economics are mere concoctions, as imprecise as the initial assumptions they rest on, which allow the author to lose sight of the complexities and interdependencies of the real world in a maze of pretentious and unhelpful symbols.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The book, as it stands, seems ...

The book, as it stands, seems to me to be one of the most frightful muddles I have ever read, with scarcely a sound proposition in it beginning with page 45 [Hayek provided historical background up to page 45; after that came his theoretical model], and yet it remains a book of some interest, which is likely to leave its mark on the mind of the reader. It is an extraordinary example of how, starting with a mistake, a remorseless logician can end up in bedlam.

He had one illusion - France; and one disillusion - mankind, including Frenchmen.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Most, probably, of our decisio...

Most, probably, of our decisions to do something positive, the full consequences of which will be drawn out over many days to come, can only be taken as the result of animal spirits-a spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction, and not as the outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities.

Men will not always die quietly.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The love of money as a possess...

The love of money as a possession-as distinguished from the love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life-will be recognized for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semi-criminal, semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to the specialists in mental disease

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

I expect to see the State, which is in a position to calculate the marginal efficiency of capital-goods on long views and on the basis of the general social advantage, taking an ever greater responsibility for directly organizing investments.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The friends of gold will have to be extremely wise and moderate if they are to avoid a revolution.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Dangerous acts can be done safely in a community which thinks and feels rightly, which would be the way to hell if they were executed by those who think and feel wrongly.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The treasury could fill old bottles with banknotes and bury them..and leave it to private enterprises on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

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.

There is no intrinsic reason for the scarcity of capital.

I'd rather be vaguely right than precisely wrong.

It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.

I know of only three people who really understand money. A professor at another university. One of my students. And a rather junior clerk at the Bank of England.
