… is from page 10 of the late, great UCLA economists Armen A. Alchian [2]’s and William R. Allen [3]’s Universal Economics [4] (2018; Jerry L. Jordan, ed.); this volume is an updated version of Alchian’s and Allen’s magnificent and pioneering earlier textbook, University Economics [5]:

Economics really is easy – in a subtle sort of way. Rely on application of its analytic principles. Sometimes they supersede dictates of physics.
