I am not a monetarist, and I am not a Keynesian. On certain points I agree with each.

Keynes was a very good economist. He was brilliant. He had wonderful insights. His work has inspired me many times.

There is one good thing about Marx: he was not a Keynesian.

I'm still a marginal figure living from book to book, but, as long as I'm producing labour as a good Marxist prole, I guess I'm satisfied.

Things swept so badly that I had distrust - after 1967, let's say - of American Keynesianism. For better or worse, U.S. Keynesianism was so far ahead of where it started. I am a cafeteria Keynesian.

If you like Texas and you like our economy, I helped create all that and all those jobs and you will love it when David Dewhurst goes to Washington.

The Keynesian idea is once again accepted that fiscal policy and deficit spending has a major role to play in guiding a market economy. I wish Friedman were still alive so he could witness how his extremism led to the defeat of his own ideas.

I would reject the distinction between a Keynesian moment and a behavioral moment.

I spend my time being a retailer, not an economist.

I saw the prospect of serving as labor secretary as a wonderful opportunity to further the policies that I have been fighting for my whole life, and I had to seize it.
