Quote examples
James Surowiecki
American Journalist
Intellectual-property rules are clearly necessary to spur innovation: if every invention could be stolen, or every new drug immediately copied, few people would invest in innovation. But too much protection can strangle competition and can limit what economists call 'incremental innovation' - innovations that build, in some way, on others.
Quote examples
James Mirrlees
Scottish Economist
It became clear I wanted to be a development economist. I mean, I said I wanted to work on the economics of poor countries. And I'd actually say that I don't think that was so much about narrowing the gap as about increasing their incomes, which means economic growth, which is really my prime interest.
Quote examples
Nicholas Stern
English Economist
We will not overcome world poverty unless we manage climate change successfully. I've spent my life as a development economist, and it's crystal clear that we succeed or fail on winning the battle against world poverty and managing climate change together. If we fail on one, we fail on the other.
Quote examples
Jameela Jamil
English Celebrity
The economy, unemployment, the future... Politicians, economists, and journalists are constantly debating these key issues for our country but rarely come to an answer. But behind all this, there is a fairly simple truth: no matter what anybody says, jobs are hard to come by.
Quote examples
John Forbes Nash, Jr.
American Mathematician
I can observe the game theory is applied very much in economics. Generally, it would be wise to get into the mathematics as much as seems reasonable because the economists who use more mathematics are somehow more respected than those who use less. That's the trend.
Quote examples
John Maynard Keynes
English Economist
If economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid.
Quote examples
Newt Gingrich
American Politician
I don't know of a single economist who disagrees that when you raise the minimum wage, you kill jobs for the poor.

Irish Playwright
If all the economists were laid end to end, they'd never reach a conclusion.

People today don't become economists to make the world a better place.
