The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping the old ones. - John Maynard Keynes

Inflation is unjust and Deflation is inexpedient. Of the two perhaps Deflation is, if we rule out exaggerated inflations such as that of Germany, the worse; because it is worse, in an impoverished world, to provoke unemployment than to disappoint the rentier. But it is not necessary that we should weigh one evil against the other. It is easier to agree that both are evils to be shunned.

If one is born a political animal, it is most uncomfortable not to belong to a political party; cold and lonely and futile it is.

You can't push on a string.
