I commissioned two political experts to advise me about what I could do to oppose the re-election of President Bush.

The financial markets play an active role in determining what's going to happen, how the economy is going to function.

The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States.

We in the United States are very often - since we are a democracy and we have national interests, we've often made the mistake that a democracy has to adopt America's interests, and that is a contradiction because a democracy basically is people deciding what their interests are.

To my mind, there is a solution which has to do with democracy, because democratic governments are subject to the will of the people. So, if the people will it, you can actually create international institutions through the democratic states.

I rely a great deal on animal instincts.

The reality is that financial markets are self-destabilizing; occasionally they tend toward disequilibrium, not equilibrium.
