But the crashes are much more spectacular  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) I think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to it  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) You can’t have a situation in which companies proceed on a permanent basis relying only on cash from the government  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) All taxes discourage something. Why not discourage bad things like pollution rather than good things like working?  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) Things take longer to happen than you think they will and then they happen faster than you think they will  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) No free country will ever again have anything like the 90 percent tax rates that we had in this country. Past a certain point, high marginal tax rates are, indeed, terribly destructive  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) The situation in a number of countries reminds one that it’s still a risky world out there in the emerging markets  (Lawrence Summers Quotes) Start with the idea that you can’t repeal the laws of economics.
