More quotes by John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes
The boom, not the slump, is the right time for austerity at the Treasury.
John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes
It is astonishing what foolish things one can temporarily believe if one thinks too long alone, particularly in economics.
John Maynard Keynes
When I find new information I change my mind What do you do?
John Maynard Keynes
It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. Probability begins and ends with probability.
John Maynard Keynes
We will not have any more crashes in our time.
John Maynard Keynes
The friends of gold will have to be extremely wise and moderate if they are to avoid a revolution.
John Maynard Keynes
