Be glad that you're greedy; the
national economy would collapse if
you weren't.

Mignon McLaughlin

The poverty of our century is
unlike that of any other. It is
not, as poverty was before, the
result of natural scarcity, but of
a set of priorities imposed upon
the rest of the world by the rich.
Consequently, the modern poor are
not pitied...but written off as
trash. The twentieth-century
consumer economy has produced the
first culture for which a beggar is
a reminder of nothing.

John Berger

Our modern industrial economy takes
a mountain covered with trees,
lakes, running streams and
transforms it into a mountain of
junk, garbage, slime pits, and
debris.

Edward Abbey

The Internet isn't free. It just
has an economy that makes no sense
to capitalism.

Brad Shapcott

The economy depends about as much
on economists as the weather does
on weather forecasters.

Jean-Paul Kauffmann

They talk about the economy this
year. Hey, my hairline is in
recession, my waistline is in
inflation. Altogether, I'm in a
depression.

Rick Majerus

The gap in our economy is between
what we have and what we think we
ought to have - and that is a moral
problem, not an economic one.

Paul Heyne

Mathematics may be defined as the
economy of counting. There is no
problem in the whole of mathematics
which cannot be solved by direct
counting.

Ernst Mach

My dog is worried about the economy
because Alpo is up to 99 cents a
can.  That's almost $7.00 in dog
money.
