Economic Pearl Harbor will Resolve : Waren Buffet

“It’s fallen off a cliff, and not only has the economy slowed down a lot, people have really changed their behavior like nothing I’ve ever seen,” Buffett said.

The American economy, though, will turn around, he added, and that this in the long run will be seen as an aberration. “Everything will be all right. We do have the greatest economic machine that man has ever created,” he said.

“We started with four million people back in 1790 and look where we’ve come and it wasn’t because we were smarter than other people, it wasn’t because our land was more fertile or we had more minerals or our climate was more favorable.

We had a system that worked. It unleashed the human potential. And we’re far from done. So I think your kids will live better than mine, your grandchildren will live better than your kids. There’s no question about that. But the machine gets bummed up from time to time. And if you take the bulk of those centuries, probably 15 years were bad years, but we go forward.”source:moneycontrol.com
