Citações CXLIV

The free market is not a pain-free market. The invisible hand does not protect us the way a mother protects her child. If people prefer more stability, perhaps they should opt for protection. But the benefits of economic growth and progress do not usually come to those who huddle in the coner while their government protects the harbors from Greeks bearing gifts and goods.
