Quotes-start.png "The born-again Keynesians seem to have forgotten that their prescription stood the best chance of working in a more or less closed economy. But this is a globalized world, where uncoordinated profligacy by national governments is more likely to generate bond-market and currency-market volatility than a return to growth. There is a better way to go: in the opposite direction. The aim must be not to increase debt but to reduce it." Quotes-end.png
