Quotation of the Day for January 14, 2016"A new idea had come into being: "economic man"--a pale wraith of a creature who followed his adding-machine brain wherever it led him. The textbooks would soon come to talk of Robinson Crusoes on desert isles who organized their affairs as if they were so many penny-pinching accountants." - Robert Heilbroner, on economics theories, from his book The Worldly Philosophers.
