Quote for the Day (Last Century's Economists Division)

I know it's a goat, but bleating is bleating . . . .

 “Few tricks of the unsophisticated intellect are more curious than the naïve psychology of the business man, who ascribes his achievements to his own unaided efforts, in bland unconsciousness of a social order without whose continuous support and vigilant protection he would be as a lamb bleating in the desert.” British economic historian R.H. Tawney in May 1926

Still valid . . . . .
