Stephen Greene Economy Quotations

As if China's economy was not growing fast enough, thanks to a statistical revision, growth in 2005 looks like being about 30 percent.

It's all good. A bigger economy means all the dangerous ratios, such as investment as a percentage of G.D.P., all fall. And they are usually cited as showing that the Chinese economy is in danger or headed for a fall.

The big worry is that these energy prices hit the economy all at once and CPI rises too quickly.

The economy is like a supertanker. All these things should slow the economy down. But as a supertanker, it's got so much momentum behind it.
