Quotes & Sayings About Market Equilibrium

Dad sometimes sends me texts saying, 'Just heard you on the radio, thumbs up', or whatever. So that's pretty cute. — Courtney Barnett

We learned to build our emotional muscles, helping us make it through major market falls and grind through the trying times without losing our equilibrium. — Richard Chandler

I won't wax poetic about the land in a perfectionist sense: we work hard out here, and things constantly threaten the tiny equilibrium we've established in the market garden. Whatever peace we find is often hard won. But I stand firmly with Berry and Kingsolver and so many other writers who possess a deep need to step outside the city to find a place of calm. I don't like the word "authentic"; at best, it's divisive and antagonistic, implying one way of being is intrinsically better than another. But I do very much favour the notion of alignment. I'm convinced that at the heart of the matter lies a desire to draw what we do into alignment with how we live. Some of us aren't in a place where we can live consistently on the land that holds our hearts, but come mishaps or miracles, we're bound and determined to make that land as much a part of who we are as humanly possible. — Jenna Butler

I really believe that's one of the many reasons that God had put me right in the middle of the Backstreet Boys. There are so many stars today that don't realize the impact they have on young people. Being a superstar is great, as long as you can be a positive role model. — Brian Littrell

A horror novel should reveal to you that you are falling apart. That there are ways your imagination can be made different. Can threaten what you think is.

The market is sovereign and in the magic economy of the small entrepreneur there is no authoritarian center ... in the political sphere ... the equilibrium of powers prevails, and hence there is no chance of despotism. — C. Wright Mills

Existing political philosophies all developed before evolutionary game theory, so they do not take equilibrium selection into account. Socialism pretends that individuals are not selfish sexual competitors, so it ignores equilibria altogether. Conservatism pretends that there is only one possible equilibrium - a nostalgic version of the status quo - that society could play. Libertarianism ignores the possibility of equilibrium selection at the level of rational social discourse, and assumes that decentralized market dynamics will magically lead to equilibria that yield the highest aggregate social benefits. Far from being a scientific front for a particular set of political views, modern evolutionary psychology makes most standard views look simplistic and unimaginitive. — Geoffrey Miller

Staring out at the sunlit street. It was a whole lot simpler out — Louis L'Amour

Great gandalfs ghost!

And he smiled a smile to shame the sun. — Renee Ahdieh

Keynes tried to show that market economies could settle in equilibrium states in which the labour market did not clear, and in which the level of unemployment was high. He believed that this was due to a particular example of market failure, developed in his concept of effective demand. — Paul Ormerod

However, you do need rules. Driving on the left (or the right or, in parts of Europe, on the left and the right as the mood takes you) is a rule which works, since following it means you're more likely to reach your intended rather than your final destination. — Terry Pratchett

We know, in other words, the general conditions in which what we call, somewhat misleadingly, an equilibrium will establish itself: but we never know what the particular prices or wages are which would exist if the market were to bring about such an equilibrium. — Friedrich August Von Hayek

Love is a great emotion, but I believe it's not just about romance; it could be love for nature, people, for relationships. — Rani Mukerji

I have heard it said that families with many children and high birth rates are among the cause of poverty. It seems to me a simplistic opinion. I can say that the main cause of poverty is an economic system that has removed the person from the center. — Pope Francis

So how do you know when you're a winner? Easy. It's when good is not good enough. — Cara Chow

Republicans rejected calls for amnesty and we've fought efforts to provide illegal aliens with taxpayer funded benefits. The American people are far closer to our Republican approach to border security than they are to Nancy Pelosi's approach. — Marsha Blackburn

Probably the most important piece of advice that I've ever gotten is to develop your mind. I left school very young and I always regretted it. — Stephanie Seymour
