"While market economies are often thought of as money economies, they are still more so knowledge economies.... Economic transactions are purchases and sales of knowledge." "After all, the cavemen had the same natural resources at their disposal as we have today.... We are all in the business of buying and selling knowledge from one another, because we are each so profoundly ignorant of what it takes to complete the whole process of which we are a part." "'How could we have gone so wrong?' ... The short answer is that power trumps knowledge." --THOMAS SOWELL, Knowledge and Decisions, 1979 (P. 47), AND Basic Economics, 2007 (P. 424)"
