My guess is that while the elites would like cleaner air, they are not willing to give up the convenience of being able to use their cars at will to get it, perhaps because they believe (I suspect incorrectly) that they can protect themselves from the consequences of vehicular pollution by investing in air-conditioners and air purifiers.
Abhijit Banerjee
You can talk all you want about having a clear purpose and strategy for your life, but ultimately this means nothing if you are not investing the resources you have in a way that is consistent with your strategy. In the end, a strategy is nothing but good intentions unless it's effectively implemented.
Clayton Christensen
If that's the way you want to describe a government that's going to be active and focused on making sure that we have jobs in our regions, that we have infrastructure that's well supported and that we're growing our economy by ensuring that we are investing in our people, then that might be the way you describe it. I describe it as a proactive government – one that's focused on people.
Jacinda Ardern
Economic logic requires that we maximize the productivity of the limiting factor in the short run, and invest in increasing its supply in the long run. When the limiting factor changes, then behavior that used to be economic becomes uneconomic. Economic logic remains the same, but the pattern of scarcity in the world changes, with the result that behavior must change if it is to remain economic. Instead of maximizing returns to and investing in man-made capital (as was appropriate in an empty world), we must now maximize returns to and invest in natural capital (as is appropriate in a full world). This is not "new economics,” but new behavior consistent with "old economics” in a world with a new pattern of scarcity.
Herman E. Daly
