I think without a doubt, that what is called "financial genius" is merely a rising market.

There's no question that in my lifetime, the contrast between what I called private affluence and public squalor has become very much greater.

Nothing so denies a person liberty as the total absence of money.

But now, as throughout history, financial capacity and political perspicacity are inversely correlated.

Inventions that are not made, like babies that are not born, are rarely missed.

In the conventional wisdom of conservatives, the modern search for security is regularly billed as the greatest single threat to economic progress.

It is my guiding confession that I believe the greatest error in economics is in seeing the economy as a stable, immutable structure.
