Quote of the Week:
The fundamental problem is that, while we might wish to delegate all problems to government, there are many which the government is simply incapable of solving. A government can enforce rules and provide a framework within which people can work together, but it can neither foresee nor direct all of the effects of individual choices within the market.”
- Friedrich Hayek
