“Economists gain jobs, fame and prestige by claiming to improve the workings of free markets. We see that their theories have clearly worked for them. They have improved their own position… and shifted trillions of dollars to their cronies in the financial industry. But is there a clear, undisputed example in which they have worked for anyone else? Again, none that we know of. But there are plenty of examples of economies that have been severely damaged by overly ambitious central planners.”
