Famous Quotes & Sayings

Julian Simon

Greater consumption due to increase in population and growth of income heightens scarcity and induces price run-ups. A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.

Julian Simon

This is my long-run forecast in brief: The material conditions of life will continue to get better for most people, in most countries, most of the time, indefinetly.

I also speculate, however, that many people will continue to think and say that the conditions of life are getting worse.

Julian Simon

It is your mind that matters economically, as much or more than your mouth or hands.
