"‘Ideas create wealth’. Not gold, oil, silicon or hard work. Thought is primary. Not always understood." #QotD



“A preoccupation with pursuing growth—or some modified version of the growth ideal—therefore means a preoccupation with ideas, a preoccupation with cultivating human reason, and a preoccupation with the notion that man should realize, perfect, and extend his nature as a generator of powerful ideas that can change the world.’’
    "‘Ideas create wealth’. Not gold, oil, silicon or hard work. Thought is primary. Not always understood."

~ Tyler Cowen, from his book Stubborn Attachments: A Vision for a Society of Free, Prosperous, and Responsible Individuals

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
