Too many politicians seem to reach for 'infrastructure' as the default answer to investment, as if roads and bridges were the answer to everything. Even the IMF and the World Bank seem to mainly offer infrastructure spending as an alternative to austerity, although they are right to focus on the need for investment.

Mariana Mazzucato

Infrastructure is one of the core responsibilities of government and one that cannot be shortchanged by other controversial spending. I believe investment in infrastructure pays dividends for decades and is a wise investment of taxpayer dollars.

Douglas R. Oberhelman

As mayor, my New Deal for New York will be a massive infrastructure, stimulus, and jobs program consisting of a $10 billion investment.

Maya Wiley

Some infrastructure projects clearly require massive, coordinated investment - interstate highways or a new trans-Hudson tunnel, for instance. Others don't have to. We should be unafraid of pilot projects and learning.

Cathy Engelbert

We need to stop thinking about infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start thinking about it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce Bridges to Nowhere. Strategic investment in infrastructure produces a foundation for long-term growth.

Roger McNamee

Infrastructure investment in science is an investment in jobs, in health, in economic growth and environmental solutions.

Oren Etzioni

Infrastructure investment is critical to closing the digital divide in our country and bringing high-speed Internet access to more rural Americans.

Ajit Pai

International lending banks need to focus on areas where private investment doesn't go, such as infrastructure projects, education and poverty relief.

Joseph Stiglitz

I do believe that India needs a lot more foreign direct investment than we've got, and we should have the ambition to move in the same league many other countries in our neighborhood are moving. We may not be able to reach where the Chinese are today, but there is no reason why we should not think big about the role of foreign direct investment, particularly in the areas relating to infrastructure, where our needs for investment are very large. We need new initiatives, management skills, and I do believe that direct foreign investment can play a very important role.

Manmohan Singh

We need investment in green economy infrastructure; public services, training and education; and a multilateral plan to create youth job opportunities.

Sharan Burrow

Yes, we need a substantial investment in our hard infrastructure like roads and bridges. But roads and bridges can't serve people if they don't have the child care they need in order to go to work or the health care they need to stay healthy and participate in the workforce.

Jamaal Bowman

Tax can be structured in a way that actually encourages investment in infrastructure and encourages investment in Australia from overseas.

Andrew Forrest

Investment in infrastructure enables children to go to school. Investment in vital public services like health and education gives young people the opportunity to shape their own futures and reach their potential.

Alok Sharma

I`d say is stimulus infrastructure spending is not instant jobs. I think the real reason the president [Donald Trump] wants to do this is because we have a crumbling infrastructure problem and you need a good modern infrastructure for economic growth to occur.

Paul Ryan

When a country doesn't have a good economic infrastructure, that harms the country. With Stripe, the idea is that by providing better infrastructure, by linking the Internet economically, by making it easier for these online businesses to exist, it'll make the web better.

John Collison

[ Big infrastructure investment mentioned by Donald Trump] that would be a welcome development. We'll see if he wants to deliver on that. The truth is that if he does, we want to see infrastructure development too.

Keith Ellison
