a few quotes....

"professional investment may be likened to those newspaper competitions in which the competitors have to pick out the 6 prettiest faces from a hundred photographs, the prize being awared to the competitor whose choice nearly corresponds to the average preferences of the competitors as a whole; so that each each competitor has to pick, not those faces which he himself prettiest, but those which he thinks likeliest to catch the fancy of other competitors, all of whom are looking at the problem from the same point of view."

from the General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money - John Maynard Keynes

"WORKINGMEN OF ALL COUNTRIES UNITE!"

from the Communist Manifesto - Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

"in those unfortunate countries, indeed, where men are continually afraid of the violence of their superiors, they frequently bury and conceal a great part of their stock, in order to have it always at hand to carry with them to some place of safety... ...this is said to be a common practice in most other governments in Asia."

from the Wealth of Nations -Adam Smith
