“Americans have always pursued our dreams within a free market that has been the engine of our progress. It's a market that has created a prosperity that is the envy of the world, and rewarded the innovators and risk-takers who have made America a beacon of science, and technology, and discovery. But the American economy has worked in large part because we have guided the market's invisible hand with a higher principle - that America prospers when all Americans can prosper. That is why we have put in place rules of the road to make competition fair, and open, and honest.” WorldHas BeensMadeDreamHandsAmericaPrinciplesTechnologyEconomyProgressRiskHonestHigherDiscoveryFairsCompetitionProsperityEnvyInvisibleEnginesOur DreamsFree MarketPursuedInnovatorsScience And TechnologyBeaconsAmerican EconomyInvisible Hand Author:Barack Obama
“The first essential responsibility of the state is control of the market-place: there must be some official charged with the duty of seeing that honest dealing and good order prevail. For one of the well-nigh essential activities of all states is the buying and selling of goods to meet their mutual basic needs; this is the quickest way to self-sufficiency, which seems to be what moves men to combine under a single constitution.” MenWayNeedsFirstsWellsSelfStatesWisdomSeemsMovingOrderPoliticsResponsibilityEconomySeeingHonestDutyActivityEssentialsConstitutionSellingOfficialsLiberalismBuyingMutualGoodsSelf SufficiencySufficiencyBasic NeedsAll StateBuying And Selling Author:Aristotle
“There's only one honest way to measure affluence; that's by comparing the capability of producing goods and services with the desire of people to enjoy them. It's a lousy, crooked trick to compare this society with China or some such place and then say we're affluent. It's a piece of intellectual crookery even to compare this economy with itself ten or twenty years ago. We should compare what we have with what we could have.” PeopleWayShouldYearsWisdomDesirePoliticsEnjoyEconomyPiecesHonestTenIntellectualYears AgoTwentiesChinaTricksCompareLiberalismGoodsCapabilityCrookedAffluenceThis SocietyAffluentGoods And Services Author:Louis O.

“The market, if it can be kept honest and competitive, does provide very strong incentives for work effort and productive contributions. In their absence, society would thrash about for alternative incentives-some unreliable, like altruism; some perilous like collective loyalty; some intolerable, like coercion or oppression.” IfsDoeWisdomPoliticsStrongEffortEconomyHonestAbsenceLoyaltyOppressionAlternativesContributionLiberalismProductiveCollectivesVery StrongAltruismIncentivesCoercionUnreliableWork Effort Author:Arthur Melvin Okun
“We love a world in which the people in the white hats get rewarded and the people in the black hats pay the price. And that I have to say doesn't happen very often, particularly in a very complex economy. We're in a time of panic where people have lost trust in what the banks are doing, what the investment firms are doing - lost trust beyond a level of reasonableness, to be honest. And, it's got to be stopped.” PeopleWorldHappensLostBlackWhiteLevelsPayEconomyHonestInvestmentComplexesBeing HonestFirmHatsPanicPay The PriceReasonablenessBlack HatsLost Trust Author:Rebecca M. Blank

“Time Management Tips: One can make a radar-like sweep of the horizon to identify time and task challenges while these are still manageable and while we still have a choice. The organizational adage, "the more parts, the more trouble," also applies to words. Multiplying words may actually multiply the probability of being misunderstood; economies in expression (without being taciturn or aloof) not only save time, but usually are more honest and more clear.” MayStillsChoicesChallengesEconomyClearTroubleHonestExpressionTasksManagementHorizonTime ManagementProbabilityMisunderstoodAdagesRadarOrganizationalAloofManageableMultiplyingBeing MisunderstoodTaciturn Author:Neal A.

“Let's be honest, this is a consumer based economy in America. That's all we manufacture here is need and appetite. We are the world's mouth.
