| f326f40 | Shouldn't your father be taking his seat in Parliament? Isn't that what earls do when they're too old to have any fun? Make sure you tell your older brother I said that when next you see him. He's become entirely too stodgy. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 3d9d825 | It's some kind of magic," Samuel replied, glancing at me in the rear-view mirror. "I can see it coming off her like glitter." The car listed across the meridian. "Eyes on the road!" I told him. "And, that's just great. First Isabeau tells me my aura is candy-pink and now I'm all over glitter. Next, I'll be sneezing rainbows." "Ew," Jenna said. "Don't get any on me." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 2a0f816 | I slid out of the car. "I bring gross undead creatures of the night," I said, by way of explanation. "A lot of them." "What the hell?" Quinn asked, even as he winked a hello at Hunter. I was pretty sure that Quinn could be dismembered and still manage to flirt. And for Hunter, he'd find a way to flirt even if he was full on dead and not just plain old undead. "With Solange out of town, I'm the new undead Pied Piper," I replied, limping clos.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 6847c25 | The lane was positively clogged with carriages and the ballroom packed with several hundred guests in their finest. I've never seen so many fans and feathered turbans. I do hope that particular trend fades quickly, it's rather distressing. Think of all those bald ostriches and peacocks. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||

| 70b7dd3 | My religion makes no sense therefore I pursue it. | Anne Carson | ||
| aaca39d | Moreover, the reasons for proposing such tax cuts are often verbally transformed from those of the advocates-- namely, changing economic behavior in ways that generate more output, income and resulting higher tax revenues-- to a very different theory attributed to the advocates by the opponents, namely "the trickle-down theory." No such theory has been found in even the most voluminous and learned histories of economic theories, including J.. | Thomas Sowell | ||
| 17be6e0 | Businesspeople are not used to thinking about closed systems;economists are. | Paul Krugman | ||
| c860c7e | The next time you hear businesspeople propounding their views about the economy, ask yourself. Have they taken the time to study this subject? Have they read what the experts write?If not, never mind how successful they have been in business. Ignore them, because they probably have no idea what they are talking about. | Paul Krugman | ||
| 9f18f6d | At the level of economic theory, the great fallacy in the logic of David Ricardo, the father of free-trade theory, was to view the gains and losses of trade in a static fashion, as a snapshot at a single point in time. In Ricardo's theory, whose variants are espoused by free-market economists to this day, if nineteenth-century Britain offered better and cheaper manufactured goods, the US should buy them and export something where it could c.. | Robert Kuttner | ||
| 7504d87 | A brick could be a columnist for the New York Times, and could even win a Nobel Prize. And why not? Is that any more absurd than both those things happening for Paul Krugman? | Jarod Kintz | ||
| c305d49 | As we know, integrationists saw EMU as a decisive step toward European unification, while different national leaders had different, but in each case political, reasons for supporting it. In contrast, most 'neo-liberal', or simply old-fashioned liberal, economists - from Milton Friedman to Martin Feldstein, from Kenneth Rogoff to Paul Krugman and the majority of German economists - opposed the idea of a centralized monetary policy for struct.. | Giandomenico Majone | ||
| 536dbce | While Krugman thus ignored the role of the Fed's inflationary monetary policy, Ron Paul had explained that when interest rates are high, it encourages savings, but when the Fed artificially lowers interest rates, the incentive is to borrow and to spend, rather than to save dollars that would have less purchasing power tomorrow than today. | Jeremy Hammond | ||
| ef0ea8e | Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble," cried New York Times columnist Paul Krugman in 2002.8 And that's exactly what Greenspan did. Much of the new cash that flooded into the market as a result of his policies went into real estate, where small fluctuations in interest rates have a huge impact on prices." | Yaron Brook | ||
| f40df61 | Paul Krugman warns of the cumulative consequences of defunding education: Until now, the results of educational neglect have been gradual--a slow-motion erosion of America's relative position. But things are about to get much worse, as the economic crisis--its effects exacerbated by the penny-wise, pound-foolish behavior that passes for "fiscal responsibility" in Washington--deals a severe blow to education across the board." | Georgia Kelly | ||

| ce9b4b7 | Biography should be written by an acute enemy. | Arthur Balfour | ||
| fad90bc | After months of calling for inflation of housing prices, Krugman in 2002 came right out and said the Fed needed to create a housing bubble. Since 2007, Krugman has repeatedly and angrily denied that was what he was saying, so let me run his comments in their full context: A few months ago the vast majority of business economists mocked concerns about a "double dip," a second leg to the downturn. But there were a few dogged iconoclasts out t.. | Peter Schiff | ||
| e3fbf92 | Liberal critics, like the New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, worried that the country was in danger of being transformed from a democracy into a plutocracy, or worse, an oligarchy like Russia, where a handful of extraordinarily powerful businessmen bent the government into catering to them at the expense of everyone else. "We are on the road not just to a highly unequal society, but to a society of an ol.. | Jane Mayer | ||
| e9417ba | hat are the effects of increasing minimum wages?" asks Paul Krugman. "Any Econ 101 student can tell you the answer: The higher wage reduces the quantity of labor demanded, and hence leads to unemployment." | Don Watkins | ||
| 1801df3 | Some defenders of FDR, such as economist Paul Krugman, blame the 1937-38 collapse on a reduction in government spending. In typical Keynesian fashion, they claim that the economy tanked that year because the president, after nearly doubling federal spending in his first term, caved to GOP demands to rein in expenditures. But in real terms, the reduction was puny -- less than 1 percent of GDP. Even by Keynesian standards, this blip could har.. | Lawrence W. Reed | ||

| 488a742 | Still, one could argue--and many did--that Greenspan, at least, had no business being quite so shocked. Over the years, countless people had challenged his deregulatory dogma, including (to name just a few) Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman, both Nobel Prize-winning economists, and Brooksley Born, who was head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 1996 to 1999. Born eventually became something of a Cassandra figure for the crisis,.. | Kathryn Schulz | ||
| 2dbc61e | Consequently, even many critics of economic inequality are hesitant to endorse the claim that inequality undermines growth. Paul Krugman, for instance, says that he is "a skeptic on the inequality-is-bad-for-performance proposition--not hard line against it, but worried that the evidence for some popular stories is weaker than I'd like." | Don Watkins | ||
| ca8eeba | One of the biggest advocates on behalf of Piketty is the American Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman, who is responsible for a large part of the Piketty hype. To be sure, Piketty argues in such a neoclassical manner that Krugman, a so-called neo-Keynesian, is also forced to criticize him. Nonetheless, Krugman is full of praise for Piketty's book, since he hopes that the striking development of inequality it documents must provoke a will to cha.. | Stephen Kaufmann | ||
| 0297f2e | While economists of such different political affiliations as Paul Krugman, Larry Summers, and Tyler Cowen all have written extensively about the cause of the joblessness and "secular stagnation" in the US economy that has endured since 2000, they never examine the role that monopoly capitalism might play in this crisis." | Jonathan Taplin | ||

| 70f1ef7 | Although you set your goal of getting a B, when your first exam score, worth 30% of your final grade is returned, you have received a D. It is now one week after you have learned about the D grade. What do you do?19 Hope made all the difference. The response by students with high levels of hope was to work harder and think of a range of things they might try that could bolster their final grade. Students with moderate levels of hope thought.. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 5294bcd | Television, as the poet T. S. Eliot warned in 1963, when the then-new medium was spreading into homes, "permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome." | Daniel Goleman | ||
| e645235 | The subcortical circuits that know such gut truths before we have words for them include the amygdala and the insula. A scholarly review of gut intuitions concludes that using feelings as information is a "generally sensible judgmental strategy," rather than a perennial source of error, as the hyperrational might argue.1 Tuning in to our feelings as a source of information taps into a vast amount of decision rules that the mind gathers unco.. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 74d269a | Un estudio de la Escuela de Direccion de Empresas de la Universidad de Yale descubrio que en los grupos de trabajo la alegria y la cordialidad son lo que se transmite con mas rapidez, mientras que la irritabilidad es menos contagiosa y la depresion practicamente no se propaga | Daniel Goleman | ||
| bbecc1e | classic model of the stages of creativity roughly translates to three modes of focus: orienting, where we search out and immerse ourselves in all kinds of inputs; selective attention on the specific creative challenge; and open awareness, where we associate freely to let the solution emerge--then home in on the solution. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 7537181 | Segun el estudio de Yale, el animo influye en la eficiencia de los trabajadores; si es positivo fomenta la cooperacion, la imparcialidad y el rendimiento laboral. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| ff3a717 | In a complex world where almost everyone has access to the same information, new value arises from the original synthesis, from putting ideas together in novel ways, and from smart questions that open up untapped potential. Creative insights entail joining elements in a useful, fresh way. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 1afa441 | la guia con que cuentan estos para aprender a controlar sus propios impulsos y el ejercicio de la empatia constituyen elementos fundamentales del desarrollo emocional. Por el mismo motivo, el descuido, el abuso, la falta de sintonia, la brutalidad y la indiferencia pueden dejar su negativa impronta profundamente grabada en los circuitos nerviosos de la emocion.15 | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 9ba1543 | Think of attention as a mental muscle that we can strengthen by a workout. Memorization works that muscle, as does concentration. The mental analog of lifting a free weight over and over is noticing when our mind wanders and bringing it back to target. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| adea1e2 | Mas que cualquier otro individuo, el jefe crea las condiciones que determinan directamente la capacidad de sus subordinados para trabajar bien. | Daniel Goleman | ||
| 5a5fabf | Writing about the coming information-rich world, he warned that what information consumes is "the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."9 PART I THE ANATOMY OF ATTENTION" | Daniel Goleman | ||
| fa20ab9 | La mayor parte de las veces no podemos dictar que emociones vamos a sentir, cuando vamos a sentirlas ni con que fuerza. | Daniel Goleman | ||
