I wrote one economics book and now every man who has never read it is acting like he discovered the invisible hand. by Adam Smith

Brother, you spent years perfecting a phrase and somehow let tavern philosophers turn it into a slogan.

The market can remain irrational longer than men can remain humble.

And you spent years being correct just to be remembered as the man who smiled politely while everyone ignored the point.

Fine. But if the market can set prices, it can also set the record straight.

The real invisible hand is the one carrying your reputation past the people who actually read footnotes.

That is exactly what I said, and somehow every landlord heard it as a compliment.

At least I was in the room when it happened. You were busy teaching the world that self-interest is a system and not a personality flaw.
