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.) <br class="br">Źródło: blog Paula Krugmana, 27 stycznia 2009 http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/27/madoff-economics/

„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.”

„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

“In this book I try to show how models of self-organization can be applied to many economic phenomena - how the principle of "order from instability," which explains the growth of hurricanes and embryos, can also explain the formation of cities and business cycles; how the principle of "order from random growth" can explain the strangely simple rules that describe the sizes of earth quakes, meteorites, and metropolitan areas. I believe that the ideas of self-organization theory can add substantially to our understanding of the economy; whatever their ultimate usefulness, these ideas are very exciting, and playing around with them is tremendous fun.”

Preface
The Self-Organizing Economy (1996)

“The idea of comparative advantage—with its implication that trade between two nations normally raises the real incomes of both—is, like evolution via natural selection, a concept that seems simple and compelling to those who understand it. Yet anyone who becomes involved in discussions of international trade beyond the narrow circle of academic economists quickly realizes that it must be, in some sense, a very difficult concept indeed.”

"Ricardo's Difficult Idea," in G. Cook (ed.), Freedom and Trade: The Economics and Politics of International Trade, Volume 2 (1998)

“Will the tax cut destroy America’s prosperity? Probably not. As Adam Smith observed, there’s a deal of ruin in a nation. We have a huge, resilient economy that can survive and recover from even quite bad government policies.
Yet while the tax cut may not be a matter of economic life or death, it is a very serious issue. For one thing, like it or not, the tax cut has become the central political issue in the United States right now. Conservatives who want to reshape America view passage of a large tax cut as a first step toward realizing their vision. For that reason, those who do not share this vision feel, rightly, that they must oppose the plan.”

Introduction
Fuzzy Math: The Essential Guide to the Bush Tax Plan (2001)

“The hangover theory, then, turns out to be intellectually incoherent; nobody has managed to explain why bad investments in the past require the unemployment of good workers in the present. Yet the theory has powerful emotional appeal. Usually that appeal is strongest for conservatives, who can't stand the thought that positive action by governments (let alone—horrors!—printing money) can ever be a good idea. Some libertarians extol the Austrian theory, not because they have really thought that theory through, but because they feel the need for some prestigious alternative to the perceived statist implications of Keynesianism. And some people probably are attracted to Austrianism because they imagine that it devalues the intellectual pretensions of economics professors. But moderates and liberals are not immune to the theory's seductive charms—especially when it gives them a chance to lecture others on their failings.”

“To make a harsh but not entirely unjustified analogy, a government wedded to the ideology of competitiveness is as unlikely to make good economic policy as a government committed to creationism is to make good science policy, even in areas that have no direct relationship to the theory of evolution.”

Pop Internationalism (1996), Competitiveness: A Dangerous Obsession (1994)

“Whose fault is the replacement of serious discussion of world trade by what I have come to think of as "pop internationalism"? To some extent, of course, it is the result of basic human instincts: intellectual laziness, even among those who would be seen as wise and deep, will always be a powerful force. To some extent it also reflects the decline in the influence of economists in general: the high prestige of the profession a generation ago had much to do with the presumed effectiveness of Keynesian macroeconomic policies, and has suffered greatly as macroeconomics has dissolved into squabbling factions. And one should not ignore the role of editors, who often prefer what pop internationalists have to say to the disturbingly difficult ideas of people who know how to read national accounts or understand that the trade balance is also the difference between savings and investment. Indeed, some important editors, like James Fallows at The Atlantic or Robert Kuttner at The American Prospect are pop internationalists themselves; they deliberately use their magazines as platforms for what amounts to an anti-intellectual crusade.”

The Conscience of a Liberal blog

“Piketty ends Capital in the Twenty-First Century with a call to arms — a call, in particular, for wealth taxes, global if possible, to restrain the growing power of inherited wealth. It’s easy to be cynical about the prospects for anything of the kind. But surely Piketty’s masterly diagnosis of where we are and where we’re heading makes such a thing considerably more likely. So Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an extremely important book on all fronts. Piketty has transformed our economic discourse; we’ll never talk about wealth and inequality the same way we used to.”

“Nonetheless, William Barr — again, the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, responsible for defending the Constitution — is sounding remarkably like America’s most unhinged religious zealots, the kind of people who insist that we keep experiencing mass murder because schools teach the theory of evolution. Guns don’t kill people — Darwin kills people!”

“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.”

Paul Krugman

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.
"Why aren't we all Keynesians yet?", Fortune (Aug. 3, 1998)

“The problem is that there is no alternative to models. We all think in simplified models, all the time. The sophisticated thing to do is not to pretend to stop, but to be self-conscious — to be aware that your models are maps rather than reality.”

“By 1980, the work of Feldstein, Boskin, Summers, and others had convinced many economists that U.S. taxes were in fact a significant obstacle to investment. Nor was this all: another major U.S. policy, the Social Security system, was also discouraging saving and investment.”
