There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.
Why don’t people make fun of the “efficient governments” hypothesis? The libertarian argument is not that markets are perfect, it’s that politicians are even more short-sighted.

Because politicians are just so good at predicting the future and as venture capitalists, using YOUR money. Enough.
