In the 30s, the Keynesian stuff worked at least in the sense that you could print money without inflation because there was all this productivity growth happening. That’s not going to work today Picture Quote #1

Higher education is the place where people who had big plans in high school get stuck in fierce rivalries with equally smart peers over conventional careers like management consulting and investment banking. For the privilege of being turned into conformists, students (or their families) pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in skyrocketing tuition that continues to outpace inflation. Why are we doing this to ourselves? Picture Quote #1

If you have technological progress, that will encourage more capitalist system. On the other hand, if you don’t, if things are stalled, you end up with much more of a zero sum type thing, where there’s no progress and basically everybody’s gain is somebody else’s loss Picture Quote #1

I’m in favor of free trade, but I think if you had to make a choice between having technological progress versus free trade, you had one or the other, you should always pick technological progress. I think it’s an incredibly important variable for creating more prosperity Picture Quote #1

American government is not dominated by engineers, it is dominated by lawyers. Engineers are interested in substance and building things; lawyers are interested in process and rights and getting the ideology correctly blended.

It is sort of a bit of a caricature of capitalism, that it’s always this zero-sum game where you have winners and losers. Silicon Valley, the technology industry at its best, creates a situation where everybody can be a winner Picture Quote #1

You can achieve difficult things, but you can’t achieve the impossible Picture Quote #1

It’s good to test yourself and develop your talents and ambitions as fully as you can and achieve greater success; but I think success is the feeling you get from a job well done, and the key thing is to do the work Picture Quote #1

There have been a lot of critiques of the finance industry’s having possibly foisted subprime mortgages on unknowing buyers, and a lot of those kinds of arguments are even more powerful when used against college administrators who are probably in some ways engaged in equally misleading advertising Picture Quote #1

Wall Street is always too biased toward short-term profitability and biased against long-term growth Picture Quote #1

Every time you write an email, it is in the public domain. There are all these ways where security is not as good as people believe Picture Quote #1

Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women - two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians - have rendered the notion of capitalist democracy into an oxymoron Picture Quote #1

Most people are average. Founders are not. Founders’ traits seem to have an inverse normal distribution to them Picture Quote #1

I had a good experience in college, but I don’t think interdisciplinary education is something that’s stressed very much at all. It’s generally considered to be something of a bad idea Picture Quote #1

Monopolies are bad and deserve their reputation when things are static and the monopolies function as toll collectors... But I think they’re quite positive when they’re dynamic and do something new Picture Quote #1

If I had known how hard it would be to do something new, particularly in the payments industry, I would never have started PayPal. That’s why nobody with long experience in banking had done it. You needed to be naive enough to think that new things could be done Picture Quote #1

As an undergraduate at Stanford, I started ‘The Stanford Review,’ which ended up being very engaged in the hot debates of the time: campus speech codes, questions about diversity on campus, all sorts of debates like that Picture Quote #1
