Bon mot

We are enduring a distressing election campaign in Oz.  An unregenerate conservative party is facing down the muddled left, and will probably win, and then go on to repeat the various fiscal tightening follies of governments elsewhere on the grounds that it will "restore confidence".

So I thought you might enjoy some insightful and acerbic insights from J M Keynes.

Capitalism is “the astonishing belief that the nastiest motives of the nastiest men somehow or other work for the best results in the best of all possible worlds.”
