George Gilder Quotes : pic 000114699
From Adam Smith's pin factory to Moore's Law of microchips, the division of labor drives the extension of the market, not the other way around. Supply creates its own demand through the proliferation of goods and services down the curves of learning, entropy, and imagination. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000162663
Entropy is Janus-faced. Its upside surprises are redemptive and favorable to freedom. It is freedom of choice. But the carrier itself requires constant vigilance against entropic noise. Order is not spontaneous, but it is a necessary condition for all the surprises of freedom and opportunity. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000162676
Entrepreneurial creation is the generation, de novo, of novelty and surprise - freedom of choice originating in the world of ideas, and imagination beyond all concern with chemicals. The contrary view - that all ideas are determined by material relationships - is the materialist superstition. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000177550
Quality is abundant. Time is the new scarcity. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000192439
Shaul is sure that Israel's test of survival, daily undergone, is the secret of Israeli enterprise. When you're concerned about your survival, every day, you think outside of the box -- George Gilder

Originating in large scale electronic warfare and anti-jamming technologies for the battlefield devised by two Russian immigrants, these now one-chip systems can fit in a handset and enable intercommunication among the towers of Babel in urban America. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000220542
Entrepreneurship is the launching of surprises. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000228530
A policy of subsidizing failures will end in an economy strewn with capital-guzzling industries long past their time of profitability - old companies that cannot create jobs themselves, but can stand in the way of job creation. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000235683
[The] zero-sum caricature [applies] much more accurately to socialism, which stifles the creation of new wealth and thus fosters a dog-eat-dog struggle over existing material resources. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000280730
But I still don't have knowledge, interpreting the surprises that others don't know about, that will drive a new narrative. You have to work and think and stress and fret to surmise the surprises by first fathoming the pulse. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000287390
The key to growth is quite simple: creative men with money. The cause of stagnation is similarly clear: depriving creative individuals of financial power. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000316172
The source and root of all monetary evil [is] the government monopoly on the issue and control of money. - Friedrich Hayek -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000319592
The point about bad money is not that it converges with the worth of the paper it is printed on. It is worse than that. Falsifying the information basis of all prices, it stultifies entrepreneurs, deceives savers, and fosters tyranny. Interest -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000337641
Television is not vulgar because people are vulgar; it is vulgar because people are similar in their prurient interests and sharply differentiated in their civilized concerns. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000362961

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000436237
But if the 1 percent and the 0.1 percent are respected and allowed to risk their wealth - and new rebels are allowed to rise up and challenge them - America will continue to be the land where the last regularly become the first by serving others. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000439938

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000453955
History tells us that the threat to prosperity is not debt but socialism. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000455205

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000507481
Ever since the millennial crash, the United States has been buffeted by currency shocks, interest-rate gyrations, and financial device bubbles.

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575696
The fact is there hasn't been a thrilling new erogenous zone discovered since de Sade. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575699
Surely women's liberation is a most unpromising panacea. But the movement is working politically, because our sexuality is so confused, our masculinity so uncertain, and our families so beleaguered that no one knows what they are for or how they are sustained. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575700
Unlike an inexorable, Newtonian "great machine", the economy is not a closed system. -- George Gilder

President Obama's friend and counselor Ta-Nehisi Coates, from his perch atop the bestseller lists and at the pinnacle of power in America, denounces the American Dream, in terms that echo Obama's previous spiritual guide, Pastor Wright in Chicago, as a genocidal weight of whiteness. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575717

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575722
Creativity is the foundation of wealth. All progress comes from the creative minority. Under capitalism, wealth is less a stock of goods than a flow of ideas, the defining characteristic of which is surprise. If it were not surprising, we could plan it, and socialism would work. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575723

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575742
Real poverty is less a state of income than a state of mind. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575743
Unlike femininity, relaxed masculinity is at bottom empty, a limp nullity. While the female body is full of internal potentiality, the male is internally barren. Manhood at the most basic level can be validated and expressed only in action. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575744
Socialism is an insurance policy bought by all the members of a national economy to shield them from risk. But the result is to shield them from knowledge of the real dangers and opportunities ... -- George Gilder

George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575746

information so merged and muffled that it hides knowledge rather than reveals it. All beta, no alpha. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575752
In a world of dumb terminals and telephones, networks had to be smart. But in a world of smart terminals, networks have to be dumb. -- George Gilder
George Gilder Quotes : pic 000575753
