※ John Kenneth Galbraith OC (Ken Galbraith, 1908~2006, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kenneth_Galbraith ) ; a Canadian-American economist, diplomat, public official, and intellectual.
As an economist, he leaned toward post-Keynesian economics from an institutionalist perspective.
He served as the deputy director of the powerful Office of Price Administration (OPA) during World War II in charge of stabilizing all prices, wages and rents in the American economy, to combat the threat of inflation and hoarding during a time of shortages and rationing, a task which was successfully accomplished.

What did people truly want to say to the world?
I want to convey the true heart of the person published here.
With this mindset, I hope to properly express John Kenneth Galbraith's heart.
1. Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.
정치에서 형편없는 기억력처럼 바람직한 건 없다.
2. I can measure the motions of bodies, but I cannot measure human folly.
나는 몸의 움직임을 측정할 수는 있지만 인간의 어리석음을 측정할 수는 없다.
3. The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking.
관습적인 견해는 사고(思考)라는 고통스런 일로부터 우리를 보호하는 역할을 한다.
4. I am worried about our tendency to over invest in things and under invest in people.
물류에는 과도하게 투자하고 사람에게는 과소 투자하는 경향이 걱정된다.
5. There can be few fields of human endeavor in which history counts for so little as in the world of finance.
금융계만큼 역사가 중시되지 않는 분야는 거의 없다.
6. Fools, as it has long been said, are indeed separated, soon or eventually, from their money.
바보는 머지 않아 결국 돈과 분리된다는 말은 오래 전부터 전해 오는 금언(金言)이다.
7. We are becoming the servants in thought, as in action of the machine we have created to serve us.
우리를 섬기기 위해 만든 기계의 움직임처럼 우리는 생각의 종(머슴)이 되고 있다,
8. Politics is not the art of the possible.
It consists in choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.
정치는 가능성의 예술이 아니다.
정치는 참혹한 것과 불쾌한 것 중에서 선택하는 것이다.
9. Where humor is concerned there are no standards - no one can say what is good or bad, although you can be sure that everyone will.
무엇이 좋은 유머이고 안 좋은 유머인지 유머에는 기준이 없다.
누구나 살아가면서 유머를 활용한다는 점은 확실하지만, 그 누구도 어떤 종류가 좋은 유머인지 안 좋은 유머인지 확언할 수 있는 사람은 없다.
10. All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common : it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time.
This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.
훌륭한 리더들은 한결같이 한 가지 공통적인 특성을 가지고 있다.
당시 사람들의 큰 걱정거리를 확실하게 해결하려는 의지를 갖고 있었다는 것이다.
이것이야말로 리더십의 본질이다.
11. Tenure was originally invented to protect radical professors, those who challenged the accepted order.
But we don't have such people anymore at the universities, and the reason is tenure.
정년보장 종신 재직권은, 원래 기존 질서에 도전하는 급진적인 교수들을 보호하기 위해 만들어졌다.
하지만 대학에는 더 이상 그런 급진적인 교수들이 없는데, 그 이유는 종신 재직권 때문이다.
