All progress is based upon a universal innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income
Quote by -Samuel Beckett
Everyone has challenges and lessons to learn - we wouldn't be who we are without them.
Quote by -Sean Combs
A big part of my job is to accelerate our ability to bring innovative products to our customers more quickly.
Quote by -Satya Nadella
If you ask an economist what's driven economic growth, it's been major advances in things that mattered - the mechanization of farming, mass manufacturing, things like that. The problem is, our society is not organized around doing that.
Quote by -Larry Page
I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.
Quote by -Larry Page
Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.
Quote by -H. L. Mencken
Nothing on this earth is standing still. It's either growing or it's dying. No matter if it's a tree or a human being.
Quote by -Lou Holtz
Navigating a battle between partisan, progressive organizing and decentralized petition drives is, at bottom, like trying to choose between the Democratic Party and democracy. The ideas are on different planes.
Quote by -Ari Melber
Turn pain into progress. To be wrong as fast as you can is to sign up for aggressive, rapid learning.
Quote by -Ed Catmull
Bitcoin is successful only because of its potential for circumvention, lack of oversight.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
High levels of economic inequality lead to imbalances in political power, as those at the top use their economic weight to shape our politics in ways that give them more economic power.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Under Ronald Reagan in the United States and Margaret Thatcher in the U.K., there was a rewriting of the basic rules of capitalism. These two governments changed the rules governing labour bargaining, weakening trade unions, and they weakened anti-trust enforcement, allowing more monopolies to be created.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed, and debated intensely.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Globalization and trade liberalization were supposed to make us all better off through the mechanism of trickle-down economics. What we seemed to be seeing instead was trickle-up economics, accompanied by a destruction of democratic politics, as we moved ever closer to a system of 'one dollar, one vote' as opposed to 'one person, one vote.'
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Behind Trump's promise to 'make America great again' lie many fallacies. The most important fallacy is that America's place in the world can be restored to the one it occupied after World War II, when Europe was still recovering from vast devastation and most developing countries were still European colonies. It can't be.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
The diversity of Europe is its strength. But for a single currency to work, over a region with enormous economic and political diversity, is not easy.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
The U.S. basically wrote the rules and created the institutions of globalisation.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
After the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the shutdown of much of New York City by Sandy in 2012, and now the devastation wrought on Texas by Harvey, the U.S. can and should do better.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
A lot of my book, 'The Price of Inequality,' is about why there has been an increase in rent-seeking.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Economists often like startling theorems, results which seem to run counter to conventional wisdom.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
When you're in government, you have a big impact in Washington, but Washington may not be doing very much.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
China's government has far more control over the country's economy than our government has over ours, and it is moving from export dependence to a model of growth driven by domestic demand. Any restriction on exports to the U.S. would simply accelerate a process already underway.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Hedge funds are not noted for their long-term thinking - for them, a quarter is an eternity.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
America and the world are paying a high price for devotion to the extreme anti-government ideology embraced by Donald Trump and his Republican party.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
My teachers helped guide and motivate me; but the responsibility of learning was left with me, an approach to learning which was later reinforced by my experiences at Amherst.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Trump has been criticized by mainstream Republicans for not really being one of them. But he is definitely one of them when it comes to the central palliative for any ill befalling the country: a tax cut for the rich.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
In addition to offering benefits to those who invest, carry out research, and create jobs, higher taxes on land and real-estate speculation would redirect capital toward productivity-enhancing spending - the key to long-term improvement in living standards.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
When you have a highly divided society, it's hard to come together to make investments in the common good.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
A politically astute president who understood deeply the economics and politics of corporate tax reform could conceivably muscle Congress toward a reform package that made sense. Trump is not that leader.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Let me put it very forcefully: No large economy has ever recovered from an economic downturn through austerity. It's not going to happen in the United States, and it's not going to happen in Europe.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
With neoliberalism discredited and austerity failed, we need to rewrite the rules of the economy once again. But this time in the right way. We need rules that focus on long-term economic growth, and the only kind of sustainable prosperity is shared prosperity.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
When you don't have equality of opportunity because you don't have equal access to education, it just seems so outrageous. It weakens our economy and leads to more inequality.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Certainly, the poverty, the discrimination, the episodic unemployment could not but strike an inquiring youngster: why did these exist, and what could we do about them.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
President Trump sees the world in transactional and zero-sum terms - if something is good for China, it must be bad for the U.S. By contrast, economists see the world in much more nuanced ways: if globalization is well-managed, it can be a positive-sum game, where both the U.S. and China gain; if it is badly managed, it can be negative-sum.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Globally, manufacturing jobs are on the decline, simply because productivity growth has outpaced growth in demand.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Those who have contributed great positive innovations to our society, from the pioneers of genetic understanding to the pioneers of the Information Age, have received a pittance compared with those responsible for the financial innovations that brought our global economy to the brink of ruin.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Trump can bring jobs back, but they will be minimal-wage jobs, not the high-paying jobs of the 1950s.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
It's very hard to persuade a young person who has seen the Great Recession, who has seen all the problems with inequality, to tell them inequality is not important and that markets are always efficient. They'd think you're crazy.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
But individuals and firms spend an enormous amount of resources acquiring information, which affects their beliefs; and actions of others too affect their beliefs.
Quote by -Joseph Stiglitz
Technology has been advancing so fast that the number of jobs globally in manufacturing is declining. There is no way that Trump can bring significant numbers of manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.
