      Instead of quoting a historical figure like Adam Smith, Daniel Kahneman or John Maynard Keynes, legendary investor Warren Buffett believes the most consequential words on modern economics came from a surprising source: former U.S. President George W. Bush.

      At the height of the 2008 financial crisis, Bush said: “If money isn’t loosened up, this sucker could go down!”

          A very surprising source.
