Quotation of the Day…

… is from page 9 of my GMU Econ colleague David Levy’s, and Sandra Peart’s, excellent 2017 book, Escape from Democracy: The Role of Experts and the Public in Economic Policy:

There is no guarantee that those who implement a policy are trustworthy or effective or that they are impervious to the temptations associated with power. Nor is there any reason to believe that they will choose the means that best serve the articulated goals of the group instead of the means that best serve their private goals.

DBx: Unmaskable evidence of the truth and significance of David’s and Sandy’s claim arrived in 2020, when humankind was stricken by the nightmarish virus of ‘experts’-run-amuck.
