QUOTE TO THINK ABOUT

The economics establishment (universities, regulators, central bankers, government officials, various organisations staffed with economists) lost its legitimacy with the failure of the system. It is irresponsible and foolish to put our trust in the ability of such experts to get us out of this mess. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Ten principles for a Black Swan-proof world
