"As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His own fate and that of his progeny is at stake."

"Whether we like it or not, it is a fact that economics cannot remain an esoteric branch of knowledge accessible only to small groups of scholars and specialists. Economics deals with society's fundamental problems; it concerns everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of every citizen."

-Ludwig von Mises

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design."

-Friedrich A. von Hayek
