"Economists have provided capitalists with a comforting concept……" — Edward S. Herman

"Economists have provided capitalists with a comforting concept called the "free market." It does not describe any part of reality, at any place or time. It's a mantra conveniently invoked when it is proposed that government do something the faithful don't like, and just as conveniently ignored whenever they want government to do something for them."

— Edward S. Herman
