More quotes by John Maynard Keynes
It is investment, i.e. the increased production of material wealth in the shape of capital goods, which alone increases national wealth.
John Maynard Keynes
We will not have any more crashes in our time.
John Maynard Keynes
Pyramid-building, earthquakes, even wars may serve to increase wealth, if the education of our statesmen on the principles of the classical economics stands in the way of anything better.
John Maynard Keynes
One blames politicians, not for inconsistency but for obstinacy. They are the interpreters, not the masters, of our fate. It is their job, in fact, to register the fact accompli.
John Maynard Keynes
How long will it be necessary to pay City men so entirely out of proportion to what other servants of society commonly receive for performing social services not less useful or difficult?
John Maynard Keynes
Once doubt begins it spreads rapidly.
John Maynard Keynes
... a speculator is one who runs risks of which he is aware and an investor is one who runs risks of which he is unaware.
John Maynard Keynes
Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.
John Maynard Keynes
Investing is an activity of forecasting the yield over the life of the asset speculation is the activity of forecasting the psychology of the market.
John Maynard Keynes
The important thing for Government is not to do things which individuals are doing already, and to do them a little better or a little worse but to do those things which at present are not done at all.
John Maynard Keynes
Men will not always die quietly.
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
Most men love money and security more, and creation and construction less, as they get older.
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 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
In a regime of Free Trade and free economic intercourse it would be of little consequence that iron lay on one side of a political frontier, and labour, coal, and blast furnaces on the other. But as it is, men have devised ways to impoverish themselves and one another and prefer collective animosities to individual happiness.
John Maynard Keynes
Experience shows that what happens is always the thing against which one has not made provision in advance.
John Maynard Keynes
The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future.
John Maynard Keynes
Economics is a very dangerous science.
John Maynard Keynes
It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.
John Maynard Keynes
