More quotes by John Maynard Keynes
When my information changes, I alter my conclusions. What do you do, sir?
John Maynard Keynes
The central principle of investment is to go contrary to the general opinion, on the grounds that if everyone agreed about its merits, the investment is inevitably too dear and therefore unattractive.
John Maynard Keynes
The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems - the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behavior and religion.
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
The great events of history are often due to secular changes in the growth of population and other fundamental economic causes, which, escaping by their gradual character the notice of contemporary observers, are attributed to the follies of statesmen or the fanaticism of atheists .
John Maynard Keynes
The friends of gold will have to be extremely wise and moderate if they are to avoid a revolution.
John Maynard Keynes
The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
John Maynard Keynes
Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assault of thoughts on the unthinking.
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
The expected never happens it is the unexpected always.
John Maynard Keynes
The duty of saving became nine-tenths of virtue and the growth of the cake the object of true religion.
John Maynard Keynes
...By combining a popular hatred of the class of entrepreneurs with the blow already given to social security by the violent and arbitrary disturbance of contract,... governments are fast rendering impossible a continuance of the social and economic order of the nineteenth century.
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
The engine which drives enterprise is not thrift, but profit.
John Maynard Keynes
I think that Capitalism, wisely managed, can probably be made more efficient for attaining economic ends than any alternative system yet in sight, but that in itself is in many ways extremely objectionable.
John Maynard Keynes
When I find new information I change my mind What do you do?
John Maynard Keynes
The love of money as a possession...will be recognised for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity.
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
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
We will not have any more crashes in our time.
John Maynard Keynes
