...the ideas of economists and political
philosophers, both when they are right and
when they are wrong, 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 influences, are usually
the slaves of some defunct economist.
madmen in authority, who hear voices in the
air, are distilling their frenzy from some
academic scribbler of a few years back.
