The ideas of economists and political philosophers . . .(be they correct or incorrect)...
are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled
by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite
exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of
some defunct economist.
-John Maynard Keynes

Jh,
Very timely. Thanks.
