I’ve worked in an economy that rewards someone who saves the lives of others on a battlefield with a medal, rewards a great teacher with thank-you notes from parents, but rewards those who can detect the mispricing of securities with sums reaching into the billions.

I spend twelve hours a week - a little over 10% of my waking hours - playing the game. Now I am trying to figure out how to get by on less sleep in order to fit in a few more hands.

The rest of the world really likes our stuff pretty well. It's just we buy so damn much of what they produce.

There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.
