"The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and
ignorance, which envelop our future."

"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all."

— John Maynard Keynes

"If you were going to turn to only one economist to understand the problems facing the economy,
there is little doubt that the economist would be John Maynard Keynes. Although Keynes died more than a half-century ago,
his diagnosis of recessions and depressions remains the foundation of modern macroeconomics."
— N. Gregory Mankiw, in the New York Times in November 2008
