Quotes by Richard Denniss (?)

“Keynes once wrote: ‘The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behaviour and religion.”
― Richard Denniss, Curing Affluenza: How to Buy Less Stuff and Save the World

“I am even going to go as far as to say that the argument that harming the environment is a necessary or effective way to help the unemployed isn’t even an economic argument, it’s just complete bullshit.”
