Some Poems

Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists.
Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
Where humor is concerned there are no standards - no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will.
In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated. If the world is lucky enough to enjoy peace, it may even one day make the discovery, to the horror of doctrinaire free-enterprisers and doctrinaire planners alike, that what is called capitalism and what is called socialism are both capable of working quite well.
The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.
In economics, the majority is always wrong.
Change comes not from men and women changing their minds, but from the change from one generation to the next.
Modesty is a vastly overrated virtue.
The conspicuously wealthy turn up urging the character-building value of privation for the poor.
Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists.
Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
Where humor is concerned there are no standards - no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will.
