The abiding genius of Karl Marx lies precisely here, in his acute understanding of the possible reaction of the ignorant intellectual to the workings of the capitalist or market order.
-Prof. Jame Buchanan (Economics, Ideas, Persons, and Events)
It’s like a lot of nominal Christians – they don’t intellectually understand, in a lot of cases, what they really believe. It then becomes easy to lead them astray. So, too, those that live in a capitalist society – especially our high school and college “students”. Go ahead, really ask them hard questions about capitalism and they can’t tell you the real simple answer of what capitalism really is. Remember, if you believe in nothing, you’ll believe in anything.
