More quotes by Stein, Herb
But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task, if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us, that when the storm is long past, the ocean is flat again.
John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) English economist
A Tract on Monetary Reform, ch. 3 (1923)
