It is Enterprise which build and improves the world's possessions...If Enterprise is afoot, Wealth accumulates whatever may be happening to Thrift; and if Enterprise is asleep, Wealth decays, whatever Thrift may be doing.

God has arrived. I met him on the 5:15 train.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

If we consistently act on the...

If we consistently act on the optimistic hypothesis, this hypothesis will tend to be realised; whilst by acting on the pessimistic hypothesis we can keep ourselves for ever in the pit of want.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

I conceive, therefore, that a...

I conceive, therefore, that a somewhat comprehensive socialisation of investment will prove the means of securing an approximation to full employment.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Professional investment may b...

Professional investment may be likened to those newspaper competitions in which the competitors have to pick out the six prettiest faces from a hundred photographs, the prize being awarded to the competitor whose choice most nearly corresponds to the average preferences of the competitors as a whole.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The inhabitant of London coul...

The inhabitant of London could order by telephone, sipping his morning tea in bed, the various products of the whole earth -- he could at the same time and by the same means adventure his wealth in the natural resources and new enterprise of any quarter of the world -- he could secure forthwith, if he wished, cheap and comfortable means of transit to any country or climate without passport or other formality.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

It is not the ownership of th...

It is not the ownership of the instruments of production which it is important for the State to assume. If the State is able to determine the aggregate amount of resources devoted to augmenting the instruments and the basic rate of reward to those who own them, it will have accomplished all that is necessary. Moreover, the necessary measures of socialization can be introduced gradually and without a break in the general traditions of society.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

For my own part, I believe th...

For my own part, I believe that there is social and psychological justification for significant inequalities of incomes and wealth.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Those, who are strongly wedde...

Those, who are strongly wedded to what I shall call 'the classical theory', will fluctuate, I expect, between a belief that I am quite wrong and a belief that I am saying nothing new. It is for others to determine if either of these or the third alternative is right.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

The immense accumulations of ...

The immense accumulations of fixed capital which, to the great benefit of mankind, were built up during the half century before the war, could never have come about in a Society where wealth was divided equitably.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

I do not mean to impugn the s...

I do not mean to impugn the social justice and social expediency of the redistribution of incomes aimed at by N.I.R.A. and by the various schemes for agricultural restriction. The latter, in particular, I should strongly support in principle. But too much emphasis on the remedial value of a higher price-level as an object in itself may lead to serious misapprehension as to the part which prices can play in the technique of recovery. The stimulation of output by increasing aggregate purchasing power is the right way to get prices up; and not the other way round.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

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

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

Economic privation proceeds by easy stages, and so long as men suffer it patiently the outside world cares little.

I am trying to re-shape and improve my central position.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

If we aim deliberately at the impoverishment of Central Europe, vengeance, I dare predict, will not limp.

In this autumn of 1919, in which I write, we are at the dead season of our fortunes.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

It is better that a man should tyrannize over his bank balance than over his fellow-citizens and whilst the former is sometimes denounced as being but a means to the latter, sometimes at least it is an alternative.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

I believe myself to be writin...

I believe myself to be writing a book on economic theory which will largely revolutionize - not, I suppose, at once but in the course of the next ten years - the way the world thinks about economic problems.

John Maynard Keynes 231 quotes

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.

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.
