Paul A. Samuelson citáty

Paul Anthony Samuelson byl americký uznávaný profesor ekonomie, autor mezinárodně uznávané učebnice ekonomie, jeden z hlavních představitelů neoklasické syntézy a nositel Nobelovy ceny z roku 1970. Přispěl k rozvoji matematické ekonomie, teorie chování spotřebitele, teorie všeobecné ekonomické rovnováhy, zformuloval model akcelerátoru a multiplikátoru.

Jeho učebnice Economics se dočkala 19 vydání a dosáhla světové proslulosti. První čtyři vydání napsal jako přesvědčený keynesiánec. Další vydání jsou ve znamení tzv. velké neoklasické syntézy tj. spojené neoklasické mikroekonomie a Keynesovy makroekonomie. V 70. letech při 8. vydání dochází ke druhé syntéze tj. neoklasická syntéza + sociologicko-institucionální směr. Od 80. let je patrný vliv monetarismu. Samuelson se tak stal představitelem Modern mainstream economics.

?Co? O čem to je? Tzv. Samuelsonova triáda: CO, JAK, PRO KOHO vyrábět?

Paul A. Samuelson: Citáty anglicky

“I think Marshall was a great economist, but he was a potentially much greater economist than he actually was. It was not that he was lazy, but his health was not good, and he worked in miniature.”

Kotaro Suzumura, An interview with Paul Samuelson: welfare economics,“old” and “new”, and social choice theory (2005)

“There is really nothing more pathetic than to have an economist or a retired engineer try to force analogies between the concepts of physics and the concepts of economics.”

Zdroj: 1950s–1970s, Maximum Principles in Analytical Economics, 1970, p. 69
Kontext: There is really nothing more pathetic than to have an economist or a retired engineer try to force analogies between the concepts of physics and the concepts of economics. How many dreary papers have I had to referee in which the author is looking for something that corresponds to entropy or to one or another form of energy. Nonsensical laws, such as the law of conservation of purchasing power, represent spurious social science imitations of the important physical law of the conservation of energy; and when an economist makes reference to a Heisenberg Principle of indeterminacy in the social world, at best this must be regarded as a figure of speech or a play on words, rather than a valid application of the relations of quantum mechanics.

“I can claim that in talking about modern economics I am talking about me. My finger has been in every pie.”

February 1985, in William Breit and Roger W. Spencer (ed.) Lives of the laureates
1980s–1990s
Kontext: I can claim that in talking about modern economics I am talking about me. My finger has been in every pie. I once claimed to be the last generalist in economics, writing about and teaching such diverse subjects as international trade and econometrics, economic theory and business cycles, demography and labor economics, finance and monopolistic competition, history of doctrines and locational economics.

“The stock market has forecast nine of the last five recessions.”

Paul Samuelson (1966), quoted in: John C Bluedorn et al. Do Asset Price Drops Foreshadow Recessions? (2013), p. 4
1950s–1970s

“Modigliani's theory was a powerful searchlight on what was happening… It is the best explanation of what has actually been happening in the great swing of American life since the 1950's.”

Paul Samuelson in: Louis Uchitelle. " Franco Modigliani, 85, Nobel-Winning Economist, Dies http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/26/obituaries/26MODI.html" in New York Times, September 26, 2003.

“In the preface to the reissue of Risk, Uncertainty and Profit, Frank Knight makes the penetrating observation that under the conditions envisaged above the velocity of circulation would become infinite and so would the price level. This is perhaps an over-dramatic way of saying that nobody would hold money, and it would become a free good to go into the category of shell and other things which once served as money. We should expect too that it would not only pass out of circulation, but it would cease to be used as a conventional numeraire in terms of which prices are expressed. Interest bearing money would emerge. Of course, the above does not happen in real life, precisely because uncertainty, contingency needs, non-synchronization of revenues and outlay, transaction frictions, etc., etc., all are with us. But the abstract special case analyzed above should warn us against the facile assumption that the average levels of the structure of interest rates are determined solely or primarily by these differential factors. At times they are primary, and at other times, such as the twenties in this country, they may not be. As a generalization I should hazard the hypothesis that they are likely to be of great importance in an economy in which there is a “quasi-zero" rate of interest. I think by this hypothesis one can explain many of the anomalies of the United States money market in the thirties.”

“Arrow’s general impossibility theorem does not disprove the existence of the Bergsonian social welfare function, neither does it disprove the existence of the Benthamite hedonistic function.”
