Post by Skyler J. Collins (Editor). Episode 418 has Skyler giving his commentary on the following aphorisms written by Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski: "A good economist believes that his role is to improve the public’s understanding of the market. A bad economist believes that his role is to improve the market’s understanding of the public."; "A democratic state is a device whereby everyone gets a chance to assert his nuisance value on a social scale."; "A foolish environmentalist wants to save nature from the greed of the market by exposing it to the tragedy of the commons. A smart environmentalist wants to save nature from the tragedy of the commons by exposing it to the greed of the market."; "Happiness without liberty is no more possible than wisdom without knowledge."; "Believing that the state can promote culture is like believing that putting a gun to someone’s head is a gentleman’s offer."; "A utopian believes in changing human nature. A realist believes in unleashing its potential."
