I think the financial restraint really pushes me as a director to be more creative with the way I shoot the film.
Although I haven't experienced violence in a relationship, I know that two women every week in England and Wales are killed by their partner or ex-partner, and that unless we act now, many more women will die because of domestic violence. We must speak out now against all forms of domestic violence, not only physical abuse but also the emotional, sexual and financial abuse which means that many women are afraid to be at home with their partner.
We must continue to insist to our better off brothers and sisters that they are in the same racial boat as their less better off kin. Even elevated class status and superior financial standing cannot ward off the effects and consequences of racism.
The idea that success can happen overnight is crippling the financial future of generations. You have to work for it.
The United States lived on borrowed money for too long, inflating its financial sector unnecessarily and neglecting its small and mid-sized industrial companies.
If you go back to Adam Smith, you find the idea that markets and market forces operate as an invisible hand. This is the traditional laissez-faire market idea. But today, when economics is increasingly defined as the science of incentive, it becomes clear that the use of incentives involves quite active intervention, either by an economist or a policy maker, in using financial inducements to motivate behavior. In fact, so much though that we now almost take for granted that incentives are central to the subject of economics.
Financial dependence on the state is the foundation of modern serfdom.
You have no ability, if you're a financial institution and you're threatened with criminal prosecution, you have no ability to negotiate.
For too long, Americans have fallen victim to financial abuses at the hands of predatory lenders that operate in the shadows.
Our prosperity as a nation depends upon the personal financial prosperity of each of us as individuals.
As a matter of fact, nearly all the greatest work is being, and has always been done, by those who are following photography for the love of it, and not merely for financial reasons. As the name implies, an amateur is one who works for love.
You are NOT a financial failure if you rent. You are getting something for your money. A roof over your head.
I wish someone would give me one shred of neutral evidence that financial innovation has led to economic growth — one shred of evidence.
I put forward a pretty general theory that financial markets are intrinsically unstable. That we really have a false picture when we think about markets tending towards equilibrium.
Whenever there is a a financial crisis, it is always the banks that get hit.
Towards the end of the eighteenth century the industrial-financial revolution began.
All financial success comes from acting on a plan. A lot of financial failure comes from reacting to the market
The dark comes before dawn. The financial markets are under great pressure because of the lack of leadership during the transition period.
The poverty we see in America is now too widespread, and too complex, for easy fixes. But I do think we can reimagine many of our institutions and can create new ones in ways that would be effective. We could, for example, create social insurance systems, similar to social security, such as that we went through in 2008-9. We could create a financial transaction tax, oil profit taxes and a fairer estate tax system, and we could plow much of the revenue raised from these into job training programs, into better education infrastructure, into an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit.
The tensions are always based on financial resources. Something like film is very problematic because it is viewed as an art form and also as an industry with a pure commercial base.
