An economist is a man who states the obvious in terms of the incomprehensible.

I'm a Ph.D. in economics, and so you analyze every situation uniquely because every international situation is unique.

I'm an economist, not a political scientist.

I think economics - and this is what I've tried to impart - has a tremendous amount of human interest in it.
