It is perhaps the most characteristic feature of the intellectual that he judges new ideas not by their specific merits but by the readiness with which they fit into his general conceptions, into the picture of the world which he regards as modern or advanced.

The great aim of the struggle for liberty has been equality before the law.
FRIEDRICH AUGUST VON HAYEK

The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.
