John Kenneth Galbraith citáty a výroky

„„Záchvatem nula“ či „nulovým záchvatem“ nazvali němečtí lékaři rozšířenou nervovou poruchu vyvolanou tehdejšími fantastickými peněžními údaji. Existují svědectví o řadě případů „záchvatu“ u mužů i žen všech společenských vrstev, kteří utrpěli šok z úsilí počítat v tisících milionů. Mnozí z těchto lidí působili normálně až na to, že měli nutkavou potřebu psát nekonečné řady nul.— O hyperinflačním období v Německu na počátku 20. let 20. století.“

“I write with two things in mind. I want to be right with my fellow economists. After all, I've made my life as a professional economist, so I'm careful that my economics is as it should be. But I have long felt that there's no economic proposition that can't be stated in clear, accessible language. So I try to be right with my fellow economists, but I try to have an audience of any interested, intelligent person.”

They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It's a remarkably shrewd and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.”
