The scientific study of labor economics provided the opportunity for me to unite theory with evidence my lifetime intellectual passion.

I remember sitting there on my father's couch or my mother's couch, listening to this lecture about how there were two groups and we had to be separated. We've come a long way from this kind of open racism. And I think it's wonderful.

We can change who we are. We can improve ourselves in various ways, and we can give ourselves possibilities.

I studied economics with some teachers from ESADE. It's a really good school here in Spain. They helped me to understand a little about numbers, stats, economics, etc.

I view the work I've done related to statistics and economics as, roughly speaking, how to do something without having to do everything.

Both economics and politics are false sciences.

We've always tried to grow in a sustainable way - I've always been deeply suspicious of negative unit economics, any economics without any sort of real, clear pathway to profitability.

If you want to learn real economics instead of neoliberal junk economics, read Michael Hudson's books.
