Power and Preemption
Power and preemption are the touchstones of the vision of the anointed, however much that vision is described in terms of the beneficent goals it is seeking.
—Thomas Sowell, The Vision of the Anointed.
Modern monetary theory
MMT isn't new. From the first coin debasement through the Keynesian myths, "politicians have unceasingly recommended more deficit spending in order to cure or reduce existing unemployment ... systematically diverting attention from the real causes of our unemployment ... government economic interventions."
—Henry Hazlitt, 1978.
The Confidence Trick

—Thomas Sowell, The Quest for Cosmic Justice, page 123
