Quotation of the Day…

… is from page 198 of my late, great colleague Walter Williams’s May 1993 article in Reader’s Digest, “What Trade Laws Cost You”:

Voluntary, peaceful exchange among citizens of a country is a blessing. Why should it be any different when such commerce takes place across international boundaries? Remember, countries don’t trade – people do. The United States doesn’t buy Toyotas or Buicks – you do. And you pay too much for cars, clothes and food because myths about international trade continue to influence politicians, the press and public opinion.
