Scarcity Quotes

Money is different from all other commodities: other things being equal, more shoes, or more discoveries of oil or copper benefit society, since they help alleviate natural scarcity. But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed.

Owing to the scarcity of chemical data and to the complexity of life, and despite the progresses of biochemistry, the biologist is still threatened with vertigo Picture Quote #1

It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man’s hand Picture Quote #1

It is ironic that people of modest means sometimes become conservative out of a scarcity fear bred by the very capitalist system they support Picture Quote #1

But whilst there may be intrinsic reasons for the scarcity of land, there are no intrinsic reasons for the scarcity of capital Picture Quote #1

Very young children eat their books, literally devouring their contents. This is one reason for the scarcity of first editions of Alice in Wonderland and other favorites of the nursery Picture Quote #1

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics Picture Quote #1

Money is not evil. There is no scarcity, except in our mind and attitudes. And what we believe we deserve will be about what we shall receive Picture Quote #1

When there is a world scarcity of any commodity, whether it’s food or free speech, then the whole world must go on rations in order that eventually the whole world may have it again in plenty Picture Quote #1

Common fluency of speech in many men and most women is owing to a scarcity of matter Picture Quote #1

The contemporary tendency in our society is to base our distribution on scarcity, which has vanished, and to compress our abundance into the overfed mouths of the middle and upper classes until they gag with superfluity.

We are wasting and degrading human life by clinging to archaic thinking Picture Quote #1
