In other words, the best way to get out of trouble is not to get into it in the first place.” WayFirstsUseBusinessPrinciplesSupportEconomyTroubleEconomicPolicyNeededLowsResourcesEconomicsSpendingBest WayFinanceConsistentStableInflationStraightforwardMonetaryPrescriptionsPreventingUtilizationDeflationFiscal PolicyEconomic Resources Author:Ben Bernanke
“No very deep knowledge of economics is usually needed for grasping the immediate effects of a measure; but the task of economics is to foretell the remoter effects, and so to allow us to avoid such acts as attempt to remedy a present ill by sowing the seeds of a much greater ill for the future.” LibertyGreaterEconomicEffectsNeededEconomicsTasksIllSeedsRemedyVery DeepGraspingSowing Book:The Theory of Money and Credit Source: The Theory of Money and Credit

“Money is different from all other commodities: other things being equal, more shoes, or more discoveries of oil or copper benefit society, since they help alleviate natural scarcity. But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed. Since the only use of money is for exchange and reckoning, more dollars or pounds or marks in circulation cannot confer a social benefit: they will simply dilute the exchange value of every existing dollar or pound or mark.” DifferentHelpingUseValuesSocialNaturalMoneyEconomyNeededEqualBenefitsDiscoveryEconomicsMarkDollarsShoesOilPoundsMore MoneyCommodityScarcityCirculationReckoningAlleviateCopperBeing Equal Author:Murray Rothbard

If the mess works, why mess with it?” IfsWorldWayWellsHeartDoeImportantBookShowsHandsAmericaOrderMysteryModernNeededDegreesPaperHappeningsEconomicsBottomMessOur WorldDesksDocumentsModern WorldMessyExhibitsWhy MeExactly Is Author:Nicholas Blincoe
