Free Markets

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or markets:

    Englishmen never will be slaves: they are free to do whatever the Government and public opinion allow them to do.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
