• Keynes was a great economist. In every discipline, progress comes from people who make hypotheses, most of which turn out to be wrong, but all of which ultimately point to the right answer. Now Keynes, in 'The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money,' set forth a hypothesis which was a beautiful one, and it really altered the shape of economics. But it turned out that it was a wrong hypothesis. That doesn't mean that he wasn't a great man!

• Los economistas no sabemos mucho, pero sí sabemos cómo crear escasez. Si queremos crear una escasez de tomates, por ejemplo, basta con aprobar una ley que prohíba a los minoristas vender tomates a más de dos céntimos el kilo. Al instante habrá escasez de tomates. Lo mismo ocurre con el petróleo o el gas.

• No puedo estar en desacuerdo contigo en que tener algo así como 500 economistas es extremadamente insalubre. Como usted dice, no favorece la investigación independiente y objetiva. Usted y yo sabemos que ha habido censura del material publicado. Igualmente importante es el hecho de que la ubicación de los economistas en la Reserva Federal ha tenido una influencia significativa en el tipo de investigación que realizan, inclinando esa investigación hacia documentos técnicos no controvertidos sobre el método, en contraposición a los documentos sustantivos sobre la política y los resultados.

  Independent, Political, Important

• Thanks to economists, all of us, from the days of Adam Smith and before right down to the present, tariffs are perhaps one tenth of one percent lower than they otherwise would have been. And because of our efforts, we have earned our salaries ten-thousand fold.

• Economists may not know much. But we know one thing very well: how to produce surpluses and shortages. Do you want a surplus? Have the government legislate a minimum price that is above the price that would otherwise prevail. That is what we have done at one time or another to produce surpluses of wheat, of sugar, of butter, of many other commodities. Do you want a shortage? Have the government legislate a maximum price that is below the price that would otherwise prevail.

  Milton Friedman

  Government, May, Want
