Famous quotes by Joseph Stiglitz:

"Macroeconomic policy can never be devoid of politics: it involves fundamental trade-offs and affects different groups differently."

"The question is whether some of the fears of last year will be realized this year. There is strong reason to worry."

"So the theory asks, how can shareholders ascertain what the firm's real prospects are when they have less information, ... It's a pervasive aspect of modern economies."

"We did not have to fight this war, and we did not have to go to war when we did. We could have waited until we had more safe body armor and we chose not to wait."

"The question is whether it'll be a stable country, will it be a country in which a diversity of views, open transparency, women's rights are recognized. The likelihood of that remains very low."

"An example might be, when the owner of the firm knows more than the shareholders."

"Elderly people remember when they could go to the movie for a nickel or a quarter,"

"Asia has become the source of finance, the source of savings. It now has the human capital to manage that well. Why doesn't it take the advantage of that opportunity to try and create financial markets that work better for the people of Asia,"

"Asia has become the source of finance, the source of savings. It now has the human capital to manage that well. Why doesn't it take the advantage of that opportunity to try and create financial markets that work better for the people of Asia."

"One needs to find innovative ways to transfer and absorb risks better within Asia, better ways of managing Asian financial markets."

"If stability and efficiency required that there existed markets that extended infinitely far into the future - and these markets clearly did not exist - what assurance do we have of the stability and efficiency of the capitalist system?"

"I think in part the reason is that seeing an economy that is, in many ways, quite different from the one grows up in, helps crystallize issues: in one's own environment, one takes too much for granted, without asking why things are the way they are."

"My research in this period centered around growth, technical change, and income distribution, both how growth affected the distribution of income and how the distribution of income affected growth."

"The notion that every well educated person would have a mastery of at least the basic elements of the humanities, sciences, and social sciences is a far cry from the specialized education that most students today receive, particularly in the research universities."

"I, like many members of my generation, was concerned with segregation and the repeated violation of civil rights."

"International lending banks need to focus on areas where private investment doesn't go, such as infrastructure projects, education and poverty relief."

"As I noted in my Nobel lecture, an early insight in my work on the economics of information concerned the problem of appropriability - the difficulty that those who pay for information have in getting returns."

"Economists often like startling theorems, results which seem to run counter to conventional wisdom."

"But while I loved all of these courses, there was an irresistible attraction of economics."

"I knew that discrimination existed, even though there were many individuals who were not prejudiced."
