I am afraid that if you don't find peaceful domestic solutions to our inequality and social problems, then it's always tempting to find other people responsible for our problems.
The economic and social problems would tend to become, like the military situation, more and more difficult as time went on and we became more and more isolated.
When, over fifty years ago, I first became interested in economics - as a discipline that provided the key to social structure and social problems - it never crossed my mind that one day I might be the honored recipient of a Nobel Memorial Prize.
People in my world can be disdainful of political and social problems and solutions. But we're never going to stop needing those.
I don't need the new fan; I need the fan that has anxiety - parents are getting divorced, social problems, gender problems - I need them to come to the ultimate show, and they're going to get that at Knotfest.

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.
If you go deep into a problem, you'll find most all of the time that there are yet more problems to be solved from the ground up.
We need more women solving different problems, starting companies, and creating jobs to drive our economy and society forward.
People are still thinking of solving problems by violence and war, and that has to stop.
I never had faith that the answers to human problems lay in anything that could be called political. I thought the answers, if there were answers, lay someplace in man's soul.
