Quotes
- “He who enlists a man's mind wields a power even greater than the sword or the scepter.”
- “It may strike us as odd that the idea of gain is a relatively modern one; we are schooled to believe that man is essentially an acquisitive creature and that left to himself he will behave as any self-respecting businessman would. The profit motive, we are constantly being told, is as old as man himself.Nothing could be further from the truth.”
- “Nobody wanted this commercialization of life.”
- “The Wealth of Nations may not be an original book, but it is unquestionably a masterpiece.”
- “Even today — in blithe disregard to his actual philosophy — Smith is generally regarded as a conservative economist, whereas in fact, he is more avowedly hostile to the motives of businessman than most New Deal economists.”
- “David Ricardo saw that the escalator worked with different effects on different classes, that some rode triumphantly to the top, while others were carried up a few steps and then kicked back down to the bottom.”
