One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
People are the common denominator of progress. So... no improvement is possible with unimproved people, and advance is certain when people are liberated and educated. It would be wrong to dismiss the importance of roads, railroads, power plants, mills,and the other familiar furniture of economic development.... But we are coming to realize... that there is a certain sterility in economic monuments that stand alone in a sea of illiteracy. Conquest of illiteracy comes first (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
Any consideration of the life and larger social existence of the modern corporate man begins and also largely ends with the effect of one all-embracing force. That is organization - the highly structured assemblage of men, and now some women, of which he is a part. It is to this, at the expense of family, friends, sex, recreation and sometimes health and effective control of alcoholic intake, that he is expected to devote his energies (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
Much of the world’s work, it has been said, is done by men who do not feel quite well. Marx is a case in point (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)

In economics it is a far, far wiser thing to be right than to be consistent (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
No hungry man who is also sober can be persuaded to use his last dollar for anything but food (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
I am not quite sure what the advantage is in having a few more dollars to spend if the air is too dirty to breathe, the water too polluted to drink, the commuters are losing out in the struggle to get in and out of the city, the streets are filthy, and the schools so bad that the young perhaps wisely stay away, and the hoodlums roll citizens for some of the dollars they saved in the tax cut (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
Even in such a time of madness as the late twenties, a great many man in Wall Street remained quite sane. But they also remained very quiet. The sense of responsibility in the financial community for the community as a whole is not small. It is nearly nil. Perhaps this is inherent. In a community where the primary concern is making money, one of the necessary rules is to live and let live. To speak out against madness may be to ruin those who have succumbed to it. So the wise in Wall Street are nearly always silent. The foolish thus have the field to themselves. None rebukes them (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
It is almost as important to know what is not serious as to know what is (John Kenneth Galbraith Quotes)
