Don Boudreaux’s “Quotation of the Day” is from McCloskey’s The Vices of Economists – The Virtues of the Bourgeoisie
If “some economist claims he can be prudent on your behalf [it] is not something you should believe if such knowledge could make him rich, and as an adult it’s not something you should stand for. You are not being made ‘free’ by being manipulated by the government.”
~The Vices of Economists – The Virtues of the Bourgeoisie (1996), page 118.
