If one sentence were to sum up the mechanism driving the Great Stagnation, it is this: Recent and current innovation is more geared to private goods than to public goods. That simple observation ties together the three major macroeconomic events of our time: growing income inequality, stagnant median income, and the financial crisis. ~ Tyler Cowen
The Great Stagnation quotes by Tyler Cowen
In The Great Stagnation, Cowen bemoaned the lack of big technological advances and argued that the American economy has slowed and wages have been depressed as a result. "In a figurative sense, the American economy has enjoyed lots of low-hanging fruit since at least the seventeenth century, whether it be free land, lots of immigrant labor, or powerful new technologies," he wrote. "Yet during the last forty years, that low-hanging fruit started disappearing, and we started pretending it was still there. We have failed to recognize that we are at a technological plateau and the trees are more bare than we would like to think. That's it. That is what has gone wrong." In ~ Ashlee Vance
The Great Stagnation quotes by Ashlee Vance
Don't try to visualize the great mass audience. There is no such audience - every reader is a different person. ~ William Zinsser
The Great Stagnation quotes by William Zinsser
A great work must be novel without being far-fetched, frequently sublime, but always natural. The author must know the human heart, and how to make it speak; he must be a poet, without letting any of his characters speak like poets; and he must be a master of his language, using it purely and harmoniously and not letting the rhyme interfere with the sense. ~ Voltaire
The Great Stagnation quotes by Voltaire
It is the fate of great achievements, born from a way of life that sets truth before security, to be gobbled up by you and excreted in the form of shit. For centuries great, brave, lonely men have been telling you what to do. Time and again you have corrupted, diminished and demolished their teachings; time and again you have been captivated by their weakest points, taken not the great truth, but some trifling error as your guiding principal. This, little man, is what you have done with Christianity, with the doctrine of sovereign people, with socialism, with everything you touch. Why, you ask, do you do this? I don't believe you really want an answer. When you hear the truth you'll cry bloody murder, or commit it. … You had your choice between soaring to superhuman heights with Nietzsche and sinking into subhuman depths with Hitler. You shouted Heil! Heil! and chose the subhuman. You had the choice between Lenin's truly democratic constitution and Stalin's dictatorship. You chose Stalin's dictatorship. You had your choice between Freud's elucidation of the sexual core of your psychic disorders and his theory of cultural adaptation. You dropped the theory of sexuality and chose his theory of cultural adaptation, which left you hanging in mid-air. You had your choice between Jesus and his majestic simplicity and Paul with his celibacy for priests and life-long compulsory marriage for yourself. You chose the celibacy and compulsory marriage and forgot the simplicity of Jesus' m ~ Wilhelm Reich
The Great Stagnation quotes by Wilhelm Reich
It is being common-born that is dangerous, when the great lords play their game of thrones. ~ George R R Martin
The Great Stagnation quotes by George R R Martin
18O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes and see our desolations, and the city that is called by your name. For we do not present our pleas before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy. ~ John F. MacArthur Jr.
The Great Stagnation quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
The power of knowledge is so great and forceful, if only we knew. ~ Norhafsah Hamid
The Great Stagnation quotes by Norhafsah Hamid
Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said Because it is there. Well, space is there, and were going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. ~ John F. Kennedy
The Great Stagnation quotes by John F. Kennedy
He felt that he had unwittingly stuck his hand into The Great Wasps' Nest of Life. As an image it stank. As a cameo of reality, he felt it was serviceable. He had stuck his hand through some rotted flashing in high summer and that hand and his whole arm had been consumed in holy, righteous fire, destroying conscious thought, making the concept of civilized behaviour obsolete. Could you be expected to behave as a thinking human being when your hand was being impaled on red-hot darning needles? Could you be expected to live in the love of your nearest and dearest when the brown, furious cloud rose out of the hole in the fabric of things (the fabric you thought was so innocent) and arrowed straight at you? Could you be held responsible for your own actions as you ran crazily about on the sloping roof seventy feet above he ground, not knowing where you were going, not remembering that your panicky, stumbling feet could lead you crashing and blundering right over the rain gutter and down to your death on the concrete seventy feet below? Jack didn't think you could. When you unwittingly stuck your hand into the wasps' nest, you hadn't made a covenant with the devil to give up your civilized self with its trappings of love and respect and honour. It just happened to you. Passively, with no say, you ceased to be a creature of the mind and became a creature of the nerve endings; from college-educated man to wailing ape in five seconds. ~ Stephen King
The Great Stagnation quotes by Stephen King
Life is a complex cycle, so vast that we can't see it with our own eyes. Maybe it's "The World," maybe it's "The Universe" ... But whatever it's called, you and I are only a tiny part of that great flow. One part of the whole. But all those individual parts come together so that the whole can exist. And the cycle keeps on flowing because all of nature follows this fundamental law. Understanding that flow. Deconstructing and then reconstructing ... That's the meaning of Alchemy. ~ Hiromu Arakawa
The Great Stagnation quotes by Hiromu Arakawa
Still, it would have been great, just once, to have a man stare at her with total adoration. To have him be ... enthralled. Yes, that was the word. She would have loved for a man to be enthralled by her. ~ J.R. Ward
The Great Stagnation quotes by J.R. Ward
Time had past indeed: it had overtaken him and gone ahead. It had left him hopelessly behind with a few poor gifts: the iron grey hair, the heavy fatigue of the tanned face, two scars, a pair of tarnished shoulderstraps; one of those steady, reliable men who are the raw material of great reputations, one of those unaccounted lives that are buried without drums and trumpets under the foundations of monumental success. ~ Joseph Conrad
The Great Stagnation quotes by Joseph Conrad
In 1974, when I started working with the material that became 'Horses,' a lot of our great voices had died. We'd lost Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin, and people like Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. ~ Patti Smith
The Great Stagnation quotes by Patti Smith
As a retired educator I have seen first-hand the impact a great education can have on a young person's life. I will always be a champion for public schools, our teachers, and our children. ~ Alma Adams
The Great Stagnation quotes by Alma Adams
The great trouble with you Americans is that you are still under the influence of that second-rate - shall I say third-rate? - mind, Karl Marx. ~ H.G.Wells
The Great Stagnation quotes by H.G.Wells
Always she thought of him as climbing some mountain in his mind, like that great one to the west on which his eyes would dwell so often and from which he seemed to derive something that was even more than strength. ~ Elizabeth Yates
The Great Stagnation quotes by Elizabeth Yates
There's so many variables in comedy. Comedy is not this thing that's a performance like a play. It's really an interaction with every single person in the room. And if there's a weirdness in the room for any people, be it something the comedians did at the top of the set or be it the mixture of the people isn't right, something can go awry. So it's really great to see you proven wrong about someone. ~ B. J. Porter
The Great Stagnation quotes by B. J. Porter
Sol in Sagittarius

Sagittarius governs faith, religion, writings, bookes, and the interpretation of dreames.
Those born under the signe of the archer shall work great wonders and receive much honour and joye.
While Sagittarius rules the heavens, consult with lawyers about thy business.
It is a good season for making oaths and striking bargains. ~ Deborah Harkness
The Great Stagnation quotes by Deborah Harkness
I feel a complete protection on my pilgrimage. God is my shield. There are no accidents in the Divine Plan nor does God leave us unattended. No one walks so safely as those who walk humbly and harmlessly with great love and great faith. ~ Peace Pilgrim
The Great Stagnation quotes by Peace Pilgrim
The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform. ~ Alfred Kinsey
The Great Stagnation quotes by Alfred Kinsey
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us
that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion
that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom
and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. ~ Abraham Lincoln
The Great Stagnation quotes by Abraham Lincoln
Perhaps that is why we must, by law, keep a record. A public journal, testifying to those who will never die and those who are yet to be born, as to why we human beings do the things we do. We are instructed to write down not just our deeds but our feelings, because it must be known that we do have feelings. Remorse. Regret. Sorrow too great to bear. Because if we didn't feel those things, what monsters would we be? ~ Neal Shusterman
The Great Stagnation quotes by Neal Shusterman
Watching Phil Mickelson play golf is like watching a drunk chasing a balloon near the edge of a cliff. ~ David Feherty
The Great Stagnation quotes by David Feherty
For me, if its television, if it's theater, if it's film, and it's good, I don't make much of distinction between the 3. I think there's only so many great stories out there. If you get the chance to be a part of one, it doesn't matter what it is. ~ Tom Cavanagh
The Great Stagnation quotes by Tom Cavanagh
The system manufactures students who are smart and talented and driven, yes, but also anxious, timid, and lost, with little intellectual curiosity and a stunted sense of purpose: trapped in a bubble of privilege, heading meekly in the same direction, great at what they're doing but with no idea why they're doing it. In ~ William Deresiewicz
The Great Stagnation quotes by William Deresiewicz
He has achieved what Nietzsche liked to call 'The Great Health' - rare humour, valour, and resilience of spirit: despite being, or because he is, afflicted with Tourette's. ~ Oliver Sacks
The Great Stagnation quotes by Oliver Sacks
I am a part of all whom I have met. ~ Alfred The Great
The Great Stagnation quotes by Alfred The Great
In the relations of humans with the animals, with the flowers, with all the objects of creation, there is a whole great ethic scarcely seen as yet. ~ Victor Hugo
The Great Stagnation quotes by Victor Hugo
Books took, in her young life, the place of companions and childish games. She read a great deal without guidance or discrimination, and gained all her ideas on life, all her faith, all her ideals and aims and aspirations from books. Books stood between her and reality, and hid from her those deep truths that can never be learnt from even the greatest literary production, but can only be understood after long years of untiring observation and experience. It was in books also that Irene found her ideal of the man she could love. Her hero was an exceedingly complicated character. ~ Aimee Dostoyevsky
The Great Stagnation quotes by Aimee Dostoyevsky
Love: the great connector. Stay Connected ~ Renae A. Sauter
The Great Stagnation quotes by Renae A. Sauter
Why give them a proper burning?" Rulf caught the lad by the arm. "Because if we beat beggars here, we're no better than beggars. If we beat great men, we're greater still. ~ Joe Abercrombie
The Great Stagnation quotes by Joe Abercrombie
We are the great grassroots campaign of the modern era, built from mousepads, shoe leather and hope. ~ Howard Dean
The Great Stagnation quotes by Howard Dean
No society can exist if respect for the law does not to some extent prevail; but the surest way to have the laws respected is to make them respectable. When law and morality are in contradiction, the citizen finds himself in the cruel dilemma of either losing his moral sense or of losing respect for the law, two evils of which one is as great as the other, and between which it is difficult to choose. ~ Frederic Bastiat
The Great Stagnation quotes by Frederic Bastiat
The print magazine and print journalism industry is obviously in a great deal of trouble, and one of the things that happened when this business started to give way to the Internet and to broadcast television is that a lot of organizations started cutting specifically investigative journalism and they also started cutting fact-checkers. ~ Matt Taibbi
The Great Stagnation quotes by Matt Taibbi
We should have a great fewer disputes in the world if words were taken for what they are, the signs of our ideas only, and not for things themselves. ~ John Locke
The Great Stagnation quotes by John Locke
The spirit of L.A. is untamed wilderness. It's earthquakes and wildfires and oceans and mountain lions and fog. There's great physical beauty. ~ Dan Gilroy
The Great Stagnation quotes by Dan Gilroy
And then at the end of the day, the most important thing is how good are you at risk control. Ninety-percent of any great trader is going to be the risk control. ~ Paul Tudor Jones
The Great Stagnation quotes by Paul Tudor Jones
Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Great Stagnation quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Seek to know the history of the sacred souls. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
The Great Stagnation quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Multi-tasking is great in the kitchen when you are trying to time the chicken to be ready at the same time as the potatoes. But do not assume it is a great way to manage a workday. ~ Joanne Tombrakos
The Great Stagnation quotes by Joanne Tombrakos
A chief called Lawyer, because he was a great talker, took the lead in the council, and sold nearly all the Nez Perce country. ~ Chief Joseph
The Great Stagnation quotes by Chief Joseph
I can't moan about any of it. I had a great time in the goldfish bowl. ~ Robert Plant
The Great Stagnation quotes by Robert Plant
In summary, all great work is the fruit of patience and perseverance, combined with tenacious concentration on a subject over a period of months or years. ~ Santiago Ramon Y Cajal
