F A Hayek & Saul Corner

F.A. Hayek: “The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”-The Fatal Conceit.

F. A. Hayek: “An economist who is only an economist cannot be a good economist”

F.A. Hayek: "There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal."

Saul Alinsky: "Power goes to two poles: to those who've got money and those who've got people"
