More quotes by 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
Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all.
John Maynard Keynes
The destruction of the inducement to invest by an excessive liquidity-preference was the outstanding evil, the prime impediment to the growth of wealth, in the ancient and medieval worlds.
John Maynard Keynes
The immense accumulations of fixed capital which, to the great benefit of mankind, were built up during the half century before the war, could never have come about in a Society where wealth was divided equitably.
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
It would not be foolish to contemplate the possibility of a far greater progress still.
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
Everything is always decided for reasons other than the real merits of the case
John Maynard Keynes
For my own part, I believe that there is social and psychological justification for significant inequalities of incomes and wealth.
John Maynard Keynes
Obstinacy can bring only a penalty and no reward.
John Maynard Keynes
Government machinery has been described as a marvelous labor saving device which enables ten men to do the work of one.
John Maynard Keynes
The Class war will find me on the side of the educated bourgeoisie.
John Maynard Keynes
If economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid.
John Maynard Keynes
Most men love money and security more, and creation and construction less, as they get older.
John Maynard Keynes
The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future.
John Maynard Keynes
Those, who are strongly wedded to what I shall call 'the classical theory', will fluctuate, I expect, between a belief that I am quite wrong and a belief that I am saying nothing new. It is for others to determine if either of these or the third alternative is right.
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
If I am right in supposing it to be comparatively easy to make capital-goods so abundant that the marginal efficiency of capital is zero, this may be the most sensible way of gradually getting rid of many of the objectionable features of capitalism.
John Maynard Keynes
If human nature felt no temptation to take a chance there might not be much investment merely as a result of cold calculation.
John Maynard Keynes
What an extraordinary episode in the economic progress of man that age was which came to an end in August, 1914!
John Maynard Keynes
