“The lesson is that no amount of sophisticated statistical analysis is a match for the historical experience that ‘stuff happens’.”
Mervyn King, The End of Alchemy: Money, Banking, and the Future of the Global Economy

“Confucius emphasised the crucial role of trust in the authorities: ‘Three things are necessary for government: weapons, food and trust. If a ruler cannot hold on to all three, he should give up weapons first and food next. Trust should be guarded to the end: without trust we cannot stand.’5 Those”
Mervyn King, The End of Alchemy: Money, Banking, and the Future of the Global Economy

“In the euro area the fight for survival has become a battle between politicians and arithmetic.”
Mervyn King
