Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or ideas:

    “There’s something about Marxism that brings out warts—the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
