"The free market is blind to politics, religion, sexual behaviour, and, yes, race. Do you ask about the politics or the religion of the farmer who grew the potatoes you buy at the store? Do you ask about the colour of the hands that helped produce the steel you use in your office building?" #QotD


"The free market protects the integrity of the individual by providing him with a host of decentralised alternatives rather than with one centralised opportunity. Even the known communist can readily find employment in capitalist America. The free market is blind to politics, religion, sexual behaviour, and, yes, race. Do you ask about the politics or the religion of the farmer who grew the potatoes you buy at the store? Do you ask about the colour of the hands that helped produce the steel you use in your office building?"
          ~ Benjamin Rogge, quoted in a post at Cafe Hayek.
