The economist must deal with doctrines, and not with men. It is for him to critique errant doctrine; it is not his charge to uncover the personal motives behind heterodoxy. The economist must face his opponents under the fictitious assumption that they are guided by objective considerations alone. It is irrelevant whether the advocate of a false notion acts in good or bad faith; what matters is if the stated notion is true or false. It is the charge of others to reveal corruption and enlighten the public concerning the same.
I have held fast to these principles throughout my life. Though I have known much, if not all, about the corruption of the interventionists and socialists with whom I have had to deal, I have never made use of this information.

Secondo me, da seguire anche se non si è economist. A personalizzare non si fa mai tanta strada.
