More quotes by Kenneth E. Boulding

Adequate theoretical models extend up to about the fourth level, and not much beyond. Empirical knowledge is deficient at practically all levels.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Humble, honest, ignorance is one of the finest flowers of the human spirit
Kenneth E. Boulding
Physicists only talk to physicists, economists to economists-worse still, nuclear physicists only talk to nuclear physicists and econometricians to econometricians. One wonders sometimes if science will not grind to a stop in an assemblage of walled-in hermits, each mumbling to himself words in a private language that only he can understand.
Kenneth E. Boulding
A world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic government.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Economists are like computers. They need to have facts punched into them.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Private property is a means, and neither its abolition nor its unrestricted right should be an end in itself.
Kenneth E. Boulding
[The integrative system] deals with such matters as respect, legitimacy, community, friendship, affection, love, and of course their opposites, across a broad scale of human relationships and interactions.
Kenneth E. Boulding
The economy of the future might be called the spaceman economy, in which the earth has become a single spaceship, without unlimited reservoirs of anything.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Know this: though love is weak and hate is strong, Yet hate is short, and love is very long.
