Kenneth Arrow

The major driver of economics is the equilibrium approach, which has taken various forms over the years. General equilibrium is the statement that all the different parts of the economy influence each other, even if it's remote, like mortgage-backed securities and their demands on automobiles.

American Economist

Jeff Bezos

If your payloads cost hundreds of millions of dollars, they actually cost more than the launch. It puts a lot of pressure on the launch vehicle not to change, to be very stable. Reliability becomes much more important than the cost. It's hard to get off of that equilibrium.

American Businessman

Ivan Pavlov

It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding world, with which it is in a state of equilibrium.

Russian Psychologist

Nick Harkaway

Peace is not a state - it is a choice, and you have to remake it every day. It's possible to get a sort of stability, a habit of peace, but it's like an egg balanced, spinning, on its point: lose your momentum, and your equilibrium is gone, too.

English Novelist

E. O. Wilson

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.

American Scientist

Gerard Debreu

I had become interested in economics, an interest that was transformed into a lifetime dedication when I met with the mathematical theory of general economic equilibrium.

French Mathematician

Hugh Prather

Ultimately, my character is defined by the quality of my sensitivity to other people. I exist in equilibrium. I am here to the degree I am there.

American Writer

Robert Rinder

Fitness is really important for my mental and emotional equilibrium as well as my physical wellbeing.

English Judge

Jose Marti

Fortunately, there is a sane equilibrium in the character of nations, as there is in that of men.

Cuban Activist

Gerard Pique

It's essential to have equilibrium in your life.

Spanish Athlete

Equilibrium can describe physical balance or abstract concepts like fairness in a situation.

Physical or Abstract

Equilibrium might not be obvious; it exists even if things appear unbalanced, like in a quiet argument.

Not Always Visible

Equilibrium can refer to one's ability to stay calm and not let emotions take over.

Emotional Stability

Implies inner peace, essential for decision-making and leadership during stressful times.

Inner Peace

Chemical equilibrium is dynamic, meaning the reactions continue but balance each other out.

Not Static

Physics equilibrium requires specific conditions where forces cancel perfectly, not just reduced movement.

Precise Conditions

When in equilibrium, forces don't cause change or movement but are still present and significant.

Neutral Effect

Market equilibrium indicates health in economics, showing balance in buying and selling.

Economic Indicator

When demand equals supply, equilibrium prices are stable, benefiting both consumers and producers.

Price Stability

 Economists talk about game theory, that every two-person game has a Nash equilibrium. Here's the translation you get from the gang member. They're talking about the decision of why they don't go shoot -- One thing that turns out to be a great business tactic in the if you go and just shoot guns in the air in the other gang's territory -- people are afraid to go buy drugs there,
