Economic Downturn Quotes

• Curiosity has ... proven to be a great ingredient in resilience, a trait particularly valuable in an extended economic downturn. Resilient people aren't made of steel; they just provide themselves with more options, and those options come from a curious mind.

• La pobreza -la mayor causa de sufrimiento humano en el planeta- se ve a su vez exacerbada por los conflictos, la competencia por los recursos, la injusticia, incluso la recesión mundial y el cambio climático. Enfermedades como el sida, la tuberculosis y la malaria no pueden combatirse sin los recursos adecuados. Como ven, todo está relacionado. Para abordar cualquier causa importante de sufrimiento humano, tenemos que trabajar juntos en muchos frentes.

• Si pudiera decir algo sobre Capricornia, y salió en su informe anterior, no hay duda de que el final del boom minero ha llevado a una recesión económica en el centro de Queensland, y por eso la gente en Capricornia, y en otras partes del centro de Queensland también, están tan desesperados por un gobierno que proteja sus puestos de trabajo y cree nuevas oportunidades de empleo en el futuro. Y por eso el mensaje de empleo y crecimiento del gobierno de [Malcolm] Turnbull y su plan económico de seis puntos es tan importante para ellos.

• From the Great Depression, to the stagflation of the seventies, to the current economic crisis caused by the housing bubble, every economic downturn suffered by this country over the past century can be traced to Federal Reserve policy. The Fed has followed a consistent policy of flooding the economy with easy money, leading to a misallocation of resources and an artificial 'boom' followed by a recession or depression when the Fed-created bubble bursts.

• The ad industry isn't struggling for a new set of principles or abandoning the ones that made it great from the start. It's simply in the midst of a business cycle. I don't think it's more profound than that. And despite the economic downturn, I'm having more fun today than at any other moment in my 30-year advertising career. The game is more interesting and more relevant than ever.

• I talk to a lot of librarians, and there's always a steady drumbeat of how libraries are places of community. But a lot of them have also recently - and just in the nick of time - refurbished, because during this economic downturn, people have a tendency to borrow instead of buy.

• Beware leverage in all its forms. Borrowers - individual, corporate, or government - should always match fund their liabilities against the duration of their assets. Borrowers must always remember that capital markets can be extremely fickle, and that it is never safe to assume a maturing loan can be rolled over. Even if you are unleveraged, the leverage employed by others can drive dramatic price and valuation swings; sudden unavailability of leverage in the economy may trigger an economic downturn.

• Reasons to be positive. The economic downturn could be the catalyst for positive change. It should be translated into the wake-up call we need for a major change in aspirations and lifestyles to save humanity from the ecological and economic disaster that would otherwise result from continuing on the high carbon and resource depleting path we have been pursuing
