Nothing so weakens government as persistent inflation.

No intelligence system can predict what a government will do if it doesn't know itself.

Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.

The power of the corporate bureaucracy - the power of technostructure (a term that did not take off) - is something to which I still adhere.

My rule on honorary degrees has always been to have one more than Arthur Schlesinger Jr.

[The] men of the technostructure are the new and universal priesthood. Their religion is business success; their test of virtue is growth and profit. Their bible is the computer printout; their communion bench is the committee room.

In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated.
