Paul Krugman słynne cytaty

„To nie buntownicy z Wall Street są antyamerykańscy, oni chcą po prostu, by ich wysłuchano. Prawdziwymi ekstremistami są oligarchowie Ameryki, którzy próbują zdusić wszelką krytykę i dociekanie źródeł ich bogactwa.”

„Bogaci Amerykanie, którzy świetnie prosperują dzięki systemowi „ustawionemu” pod ich korzyści, dostają szału, kiedy ktoś wskaże, jak bardzo ten system jest właśnie „ustawiony”. Rok temu baronów finansowych rozwścieczyła łagodna krytyka prezydenta Obamy. Uznali go niemal za socjalistę, bo poparł „regułę Volckera”, która zakazałaby wdawania się w ryzykowne spekulacje tym bankom, które korzystają z gwarancji rządowych.”

„Niemcy rujnują swoich sąsiadów i gospodarkę światową. Zmuszają kraje południowej Europy do redukcji deficytów budżetowych, ale same nie zmniejszają swojej nadwyżki eksportowej. I jeszcze robią z siebie ofiarę.”

„Ekonomiści, którzy całe swoje zawodowe życie poświęcili na tłumaczenie teorii równowagi cyklu gospodarczego, odkrywają teraz, że powierzyli swoje oszczędności Berniemu Madoffowi.”

Economists who have spent their entire careers on equilibrium business cycle theory are now discovering, in effect, that they invested their savings with Bernie Madoff. (ang.)

„Panowie wszechświata z Wall Street” w głębi duszy wiedzą, że ich postawa jest moralnie nie do obrony. Zdobyli ogromne majątki dzięki zawiłym operacjom finansowym, które zwykłym Amerykanom pożytku nie przyniosły, natomiast wepchnęły nas w kryzys zagrażający bytowi milionów ludzi.”

„Od dłuższego czasu w Europie i USA nie mówi się o niczym innym jak tylko o oszczędnościach. Polityka zwalczania bezrobocia poszła w kąt. I to wbrew opinii publicznej.(…) Jakby tego było mało, Europejski Bank Centralny i Rezerwa Federalna (USA) zamierzają podnosić stopy procentowe, jakby chciały pogorszyć sytuację. Dokąd to nas zaprowadzi? Do powielenia błędu z 1937 roku, kiedy to przedwczesny program oszczędności zachwiał amerykańską gospodarką, która dopiero co zaczęła się podnosić po Wielkim Kryzysie.”

O błędach , O czasie

„To nie tylko katastrofa Obamy i jego partii. Nie tylko dowód, że szantaż w polityce jest dopuszczany. To prosta droga, którą Ameryka zmierza w stronę statusu bananowej republiki. Najgorszą rzeczą, jaką można zrobić gospodarce w depresji, jest obciąć wydatki rządowe, bo to wpędza gospodarkę w jeszcze większą depresję. W ostatecznym rozrachunku nie zmniejszamy deficytu, tylko go zwiększamy. Bo zatrzymana gospodarka będzie przynosić mniejsze dochody. A Republikanie zachęceni faktem, że Obama w obliczu zagrożenia zawsze się poddaje. Jak wtedy, kiedy przedłużył ulgi podatkowe Busha (dla najbogatszych). Jak wiosną, kiedy grozili mu, że nie przyjmą budżetu. Jak teraz, kiedy poddał się na gigantyczną skalę.”

Paul Krugman: Cytaty po angielsku

“Where do ideas about economics come from? They come, of course from economists—where by an "economist" I mean someone who thinks and writes regularly about economic issues. But not all economists are alike, and in fact the genus includes two radically distinct species: The professors and the policy entrepreneurs.”

“Here, then, is a revised version of Marshall's rules: (1) Figure out what you think about an issue, working back and forth among verbal intuition, evidence, and as much math as you need. (2) Stay with it till you are done. (3) Publish the intuition, the math, and the evidence - all three - in an economics journal. (4) But also try to find a way of expressing the idea without the formal apparatus. (5) If you can, publish that where it can do the world some good.”

“There is no economic policy. That's really important to say. The general modus operandi of the Bushies is that they don't make policies to deal with problems. They use problems to justify things they wanted to do anyway. So there is no policy to deal with the lack of jobs. There really isn't even a policy to deal with terrorism. It's all about how can we spin what's happening out there to do what we want to do.”

“Now I’m not saying that Keynes was right about everything, that we should treat The General Theory as a sort of secular bible - the way that Marxists treat Das Kapital. But the essential truth of Keynes’s big idea - that even the most productive economy can fail if consumers and investors spend too little, that the pursuit of sound money and balanced budgets is sometimes (not always!) folly rather than wisdom - is as evident in today’s world as it was in the 1930s. And in these dangerous days, we ignore or reject that idea at the world economy’s peril.”

"Is Capitalism Too Productive?", Foreign Affairs (September/October 1997)

“As is often the case with major disputes in economics, the argument over fiscal policy went on for years, with some critics of fiscal policy still defending their position when this book went to press. It seems fair, however, to say that among economists a more or less Keynesian view of the effects of fiscal policy came to prevail. Careful statistical studies at the International Monetary Fund and else where showed that austerity policies have historically been followed by contraction, not expansion. Recent experience, in which countries like Spain and Greece that were forced into severe austerity also experienced severe slumps, seemed to confirm that observation. Furthermore, it was clear that those who had predicted a sharp rise in U. S. interest rates due to budget deficits, leading to conventional crowding out, had been wrong: U. S. long-term interest rates remained near record lows even during the years from 2009 to 2012, when the government ran very large deficits.”

“The kind of economic trouble that Asia experienced a decade ago, and that we're all experiencing now, is precisely the sort of thing we thought we had learned to prevent. In the bad old days big, advanced economies with stable governments-like Britain in the 1920s-might have had no answer to prolonged periods of stagnation and deflation; but between John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman, we thought we knew enough to keep that from happening again.”

Introduction
The Return of Depression Economics and The Crisis of 2008 (2009)

“The usual and basic Keynesian answer to recessions is a monetary expansion. But Keynes worried that even this might sometimes not be enough, particularly if a recession had been allowed to get out of hand and become a true depression. Once the economy is deeply depressed, households and especially firms may be unwilling to increase spending no matter how much cash they have, they may simply add any monetary expansion to their board. Such a situation, in which monetary policy has become ineffective, has come to be known as a "liquidity trap"; Keynes believed that the British and American economies had entered such a trap by the mid-1930s, and some economists believed that the United States was on the edge of such a tap in 1992.
The Keynesian answer to a liquidity trap is for the government to do what the private sector will not: spend. When monetary expansion is ineffective, fiscal expansion—such as public works programs financed by borrowing—must take its place. Such a fiscal expansion can break the vicious circle of low spending and low incomes, "priming the pump: and getting the economy moving again. But remember that this is not by any means an all-purpose policy recommendation; it is essentially a strategy of desperation, a dangerous drug to be prescribed only when the usual over-the-counter remedy of monetary policy has failed.”

“If Keynes was Luther, Friedman was Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits. And like the Jesuits, Friedman’s followers have acted as a sort of disciplined army of the faithful, spearheading a broad, but incomplete, rollback of Keynesian heresy. By the century’s end, classical economics had regained much though by no means all of its former dominion, and Friedman deserves much of the credit.”

“Consider John Kenneth Galbraith or Lester Thurow, both leading economists in the view of the general public, both with all the formal qualifications, both totally ignored by the academic mainstream. Or consider Robert Mundell, who is still revered for his contributions to international monetary theory, yet whose later incarnation as the father of supply-side economics has similarly been ignored.”

“I know that when I look at today’s Mexicans and Central Americans, they seem to me fundamentally the same as my grandparents seeking a better life in America. On the other side, however, open immigration can’t coexist with a strong social safety net; if you’re going to assure health care and a decent income to everyone, you can’t make that offer global. So Democrats have mixed feelings about immigration; in fact, it’s an agonizing issue.”
