More quotes by John Maynard Keynes
Ideas shape the course of history.
John Maynard Keynes
The right remedy for the trade cycle is not to be found in abolishing booms and thus keeping us permanently in a semi-slump but in abolishing slumps and thus keeping us permanently in a quasi-boom.
John Maynard Keynes
Once doubt begins it spreads rapidly.
John Maynard Keynes
I was suffering from my chronic delusion that one good share is safer than ten bad ones, and I am always forgetting that hardly anyone else shares this particular delusion.
John Maynard Keynes
The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice and individual liberty.
John Maynard Keynes
This long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.
John Maynard Keynes
I expect to see the State, which is in a position to calculate the marginal efficiency of capital-goods on long views and on the basis of the general social advantage, taking an ever greater responsibility for directly organizing investments.
John Maynard Keynes
The businessman is only tolerable so long as his gains can be held to bear some relation to what, roughly and in some sense, his activities have contributed to society.
John Maynard Keynes
The principle objectives in life are love, the creation and enjoyment if aesthetic experience, the pursuit of knowledge. Love comes a long way first.
John Maynard Keynes
The considerations upon which expectations of prospective yields are based are partly existing facts which we can assume to be known more or less for certain, and partly future events which can only be forecasted with more or less confidence.
John Maynard Keynes
I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas.
John Maynard Keynes
I work for a Government I despise for ends I think criminal.
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
We will not have any more crashes in our time.
John Maynard Keynes
The numeric system was invented to help man to put order in the chaos of the world.
John Maynard Keynes
The forces of the nineteenth century have run their course and are exhausted.
John Maynard Keynes
Gold is a relic from a time when government's were less trustworthy in these matters (currency debasement) than they are now.
John Maynard Keynes
The love of money as a possession...will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity.
John Maynard Keynes
It is generally agreed that casinos should, in the public interest, be inaccessible and expensive. And perhaps the same is true of Stock Exchanges.
John Maynard Keynes
I wish I'd drunk more champagne.
