Excerpt from Financial Times -- "But it’s probably Nouriel Roubini who has provided one of the best and most logical explanations. In his opinion every bit of the gold move can be explained by shifting inflation expectations."

Excerpt from MSNBC -- "You have to build their belief in the value that your solution offers because nobody embraces an idea or a new business just because it's new and innovative. Disruption for disruption's sake is just annoying for everyone involved. They have to believe in the value it offers so that is the last part of it."

Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "I expected the Fed to maintain the status quo, but I did not expect them to say that they could increase or decrease their purchases of bonds."

Excerpt from The Washington Monthly -- "In his new book Turnaround: Third World Lessons for First World Growth, Peter Blair Henry, dean of the Stern School of Business at New York University, wants to persuade you of three big ideas about economic success in countries rich and poor."

Excerpt from Minnesota Public Radio -- "Does money matter? Yes, but it depends on what you mean by 'matter.' You may be more satisfied with your life if you have more money, but this doesn't necessarily mean you'll be happier. Happiness and satisfaction are simply different things."

Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "At the end of the day, consumers win. Consumers don't want advertising so they found technology to skip through that, they want great content, they want to watch it when they want to watch it. I think Netflix's release of House of Cards was kind of the latest real big innovation."

Excerpt from Financial Times -- "Finally, during lunch with Scott Galloway, an NYU professor with a thinktank called L2 and a giant sideline in tracking the digital luxury space and consulting, he mentioned he thought the showroom was the way of the future: that e-commerce brands needed a physical outlet – well, window on the brand — going forward."

Excerpt from Investment News -- “'The promise is, over the long haul, you're going to get a better risk-adjusted return stream with alternatives, but that doesn't mean you'll always outperform,' said Robert Whitelaw, finance chairman at the Leonard N. Stern School of Business."

Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "I think investors have policy overload. They've been through the debt ceiling crisis, the supercommittee, the fiscal cliff, and by comparison, sequestration doesn't seem like it's much of a deal at all. It's happening gradually, which means that the politicians aren't busy doing something except maybe tinkering with the air traffic controllers or some other thing and so I think investors are willing to give this a chance and I don't think they really appreciate what sequestration is going to mean."

Excerpt from CNNMoney -- "Roubini, an economics professor at New York University best known for predicting the U.S. housing crisis, thinks the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world can and will prop up stocks and bonds for the next two years."

Excerpt from Project Syndicate -- "The exit from the Fed’s QE and zero-interest-rate policies will be treacherous: Exiting too fast will crash the real economy, while exiting too slowly will first create a huge bubble and then crash the financial system. If the exit cannot be navigated successfully, a dovish Fed is more likely to blow bubbles."

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "DRUNK TANK PINK, by Adam Alter (Penguin Press)"

Excerpt from Big Think -- "But as I encountered economics for the first time many years later and brought together Miss Mama and, as it were, economic science, it struck me that there was really an opportunity to think about how do you actually help people like Miss Mama help themselves. So my grandmother was able to provide a certain kind of assistance which was feeding her for that day. But, of course, the issue is how do you help people like Miss Mama become more productive so they can feed themselves?"

Excerpt from WNYC -- "I intentially used the term 'third world' because I wanted to point out that one of the things that we need to do in order to get back on track and start living up to our potential is to have the humility to learn lessons from what are now emerging markets. And it's important to understand that during the 1970s, places like China, Brazil, Chile, South Korea, they were all third world countries. But they used discipline... to turn around their economies and become today's emerging markets."

Excerpt from Reuters -- "'I think that's part of why people are finding Bitcoin attractive, that it's really the first widespread, completely anonymous, form of digital currency,' says Arun Sundararajan, a professor at New York University."

Excerpt from the Washington Post -- “'I think Routehappy can help change the airline industry,' says Morwitz, an expert on consumer behavior and marketing and a happy Aeroflot customer.

Excerpt from Prospect Magazine -- "After more than 10,000 votes from over 100 countries, the results of Prospect’s world thinkers 2013 poll are in."

Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "Being in a market is like being in a relationship with someone who's bipolar. You could be doing nothing wrong or nothing right and we are definitely on the latter half of that. Anything is seen as an indicator of Apple's demise, but look at the company. You basically have the best brand in the world now trading at multiples that are cheaper than Dell. So as negative as you might be about Apple's prospects, are they worse than Dell's right now? You can buy this company at about four and a half times EBITDA, best brand in the world..."

Excerpt from Marketplace -- "'This is a turnaround, today it's the first world that is thinking short-term," Henry says. "The key question is, do we have the humility to look beyond at our shores and to look at emerging economies, take those lessons back home, and start living up to our potential?'"

Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "We live in an interconnected world and the Eurozone is the largest economic block in the world. So with a, frankly a misplaced focus on austerity, people have made the mistake of thinking that discipline means fiscal austerity. It doesn't. Discipline means doing what you need to do to advance the economy and the focus on growth, I think the renewed focus on growth and moving in that direction is welcome."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'I always say if you want to study disruptive thinking … it's best to study the work of professional comedians,' said Luke Williams, professor of innovation at New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. 'They're master disruptors. Their whole job is to determine what an audience is thinking and break those expectations. And that break in expectation is where humor comes from. As soon as you hear the punch line, it's obvious in hindsight. … But a comedian doesn't stop with one joke. They have to do them again and again. [Businesses] can't just disrupt the market once and sit back and go, "Everyone's going to use our business model for the next decade."'"

Excerpt from Newsweek -- "In decades past, First World countries have lectured the rest of the world about how to stabilize and grow their economies. Today, in a startling turnaround, the developed world buckles under high debt and slow growth, while countries such as South Korea, India, Chile, Mexico, and even tiny Barbados provide vital lessons for recovery."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "This means that brand names that are short and easy to pronounce will have a built-in advantage over brands with long, difficult names. Indeed, in his new book Drunk Tank Pink, Princeton psychologist Adam Alter describes his research project that showed companies with fluent names generated higher returns in the stock market in short-term trading."
