Good analogy on the plumber, good article too. Here's a few more tasty and applicable quotes: "The propensity to swindle grows parallel with the propensity to speculate during a boom... the implosion of an asset price bubble always leads to the discovery of frauds and swindles" -- Charles P. Kindleberger, economic historian "Economics exists to make astrology look respectable." -- John Kenneth Galbraith "The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists." -- Joan Robinson, Cambridge University "It is my guiding confession that I believe the greatest error in economics is in seeing the economy as a stable, immutable structure." -- John Kenneth Galbraith, A Journey Through Economic Time(1994)
