More quotes by John Maynard Keynes
Nothing mattered except states of mind, chiefly our own.
John Maynard Keynes
We will not have any more crashes in our time.
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
Ideas shape the course of history.
John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes
It would not be foolish to contemplate the possibility of a far greater progress still.
John Maynard Keynes
Men will not always die quietly.
John Maynard Keynes

John Maynard Keynes
When I find new information I change my mind What do you do?
John Maynard Keynes
The boom, not the slump, is the right time for austerity at the Treasury.
John Maynard Keynes
Galton's eccentric, sceptical, observing, flashing, cavalry-leader type of mind led him eventually to become the founder of the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists, namely eugenics.
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
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
But my lord, when we addressed this issue a few years ago, didn't you argue the other side? He said, That's true, but when I get more evidence I sometimes change my mind. What do you do?
John Maynard Keynes
