More quotes by John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes
[T]he theory of output as a whole, which is what the following book purports to provide, is much more easily adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state, than is the theory of production and distribution of a given output produced under the conditions of free competition and a large measure of laissez-faire.
John Maynard Keynes
I can't remember my telephone number, but I know it was in the high numbers.
