Economic Systems Quotes - Page 6

• Los hombres siempre han sido presa de las distracciones, que son los pecados originales de la mente; pero nunca antes se había intentado organizar y explotar las distracciones, hacer de ellas, por su importancia económica, el núcleo y centro vital de la vida humana, idealizarlas como las manifestaciones más elevadas de la actividad mental. La nuestra es una época de irrelevancias sistematizadas, y el imbécil que llevamos dentro se ha convertido en uno de los Titanes, sobre cuyos hombros descansa el peso del sistema social y económico

• I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption ... For myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.

• Gore Vidal, the American writer, once described the American economic system as 'free enterprise for the poor and socialism for the rich'. Macroeconomic policy on the global scale is a bit like that. It is Keynesianism for the rich countries and monetarism for the poor.

• The world is a complex, interconnected, finite, ecological - social - psychological - economic system. We treat it as if it were not, as if it were divisible, separable, simple, and infinite. Our persistent, intractable global problems arise directly from this mismatch.

• This is not a dispute about whether planning is to be done or not. It is a dispute as to whether planning is to be done centrally, by one authority for the whole economic system, or is to be divided among many individuals.

• The mistake you make, don't you see,is in thinking one can live in a corrupt society without being corrupt oneself. After all, what do you achieve by refusing to make money? You're trying to behave as though one could stand right outside our economic system. But one can't. One's got to change the system, or one changes nothing. One can't put things right in a hole-and-corner way, if you take my meaning.

• Debemos analizar lo que implica la inmigración a Estados Unidos. Para los recién llegados, el cambio es insoportable. Aprender un nuevo idioma y enfrentarse a costumbres extrañas hacen que los primeros años de vida en la nueva tierra sean dolorosos...
  El sistema económico de Estados Unidos es un poderoso motor de persuasión. Motiva a la gente a hacer lo que de otro modo nunca haría a cambio de cumplir sus sueños. En el proceso, la gente aprende que no hay una línea tajante entre el bienestar físico y los propósitos más elevados de la vida. La comodidad de poseer una casa es a la vez cumplir con la obligación de cuidar de uno

• This was 1990, the year that communism died in Europe and it seemed strange to me that in all the words that were written about the fall of the iron curtain, nobody anywhere lamented that it was the end of a noble experiment. I know that communism never worked and I would have disliked living under it myself but none the less it seems that there was a kind of sadness in the thought that the only economic system that appeared to work was one based on self interest and greed.

• Capitalism, gaudy and greedy, has been inherent in western aesthetics from ancient Egypt on. It is the mysticism and glamour of things , which take on a personality of their own. As an economic system, it is in the Darwinian line of Sade, not Rousseau.

• Esta historia es el máximo ejemplo del mayor problema político de Estados Unidos. Ya no tenemos la capacidad de atención necesaria para hacer frente a cualquier crisis del siglo XXI. Vivimos en una economía inmensamente compleja y estamos completamente a merced del pequeño grupo de personas que la entienden, que casualmente suelen ser las mismas que construyeron estos sistemas económicos salvajemente complejos. Tenemos que confiar en que estas personas hagan lo correcto, pero no podemos, porque, bueno, son escoria. Lo cual es un gran problema, si lo piensas.

• Money ... is the nerve center of the economic system. If, therefore, the state is able to gain unquestioned control over the unit of all accounts, the state will then be in a position to dominate the entire economic system, and the whole society.
