Alex Tabarrok Thinking Quotations

I utterly reject the view that the Third World is doomed to poverty and starvation. Not only is this wrong, I think this attitude verges on the immoral, like thinking that slavery is an unalterable facet of the human condition so why bother doing anything about it?

Democracy is an experimental system. I like it when states try out new ideas. I think we ought to expand, not contract, our federalist system.

I think modern television shows, with their intricate plots, are stimulating our minds. This is one reason IQs have been going up.
