Economics has never been a precise science which is one of the reasons it is called the “dismal science.” In the final analysis economics depends on the behavior of people—rational and irrational.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
François-Marie Arouet, known by his nom de plume Voltaire (/vɒlˈtɛər, voʊl-/; also US: /vɔːl-/; French: [vɔltɛːʁ]), was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit, his criticism of Christianity—especially the Roman Catholic Church—as well as his advocacy of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and separation of church and state.
