The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than commonly understood. Indeed the world is
governed by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. (John Maynard Keynes)
Capitalism, based on greed, private property rights and decentralised decision making, is both cyclical and subject to bouts of financial manic-depressive illness. There is no economy-wide auctioneer, no enforcer of systemic 'transversality conditions' to rule out periodic explosive bubble behaviour of asset prices in speculative markets. It's unfortunate, but we have to live with it. The last time humanity tried to do away with these excesses of capitalism, we got central planning, and we all know now how well that worked. Hayek and Keynes were both right. Regulation should try to curb some of the more egregious excesses of a decentralised capitalist market economy, but without killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. (William H. Buiter)
