Quotes

“Science is not art. Yet, despite the lack of complete identity between art and science, there is much in common among different creative processes.”
Foundations of Economic Analysis
“As old problems are conquered, we expect to turn up new problems. A discipline lives on its unsolvved problems; and so, for better or worse, economics is likely to be a lively subject for as many years ahead as man can see.”
1950s
“The stock market has forecast nine of the last five recessions.”
1960s, p. 92
“What sex is to the biology classroom, stocks and investment riskiness is to the sophomore economics lecture hall.”
1990s
