The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.

F.A. Hayek, The Fatal Conceit

pg 196 2000 version of Gibson's Neuromancer:

"Power, in Case's world, meant corporate power. the zaibatsus, the multinationals that shaped the course of human history, had transcended old barriers. viewed as organisms, they had attained a kind of immortality. you couldn't kill a zaibatsu by assassinating a dozen key executives; there were others waiting to step up the ladder, assume the vacated position, access the vast banks of corporate memory. but Tessier-Ashpool wasn't like that, and he sensed the difference in the death of its founder. T-A was an atavism, a clan. he remembered the litter of the old man's chamber, the soiled humanity of it, the ragged spines of the old audio disks in their paper sleeves. one foot bare, the other in a velvet slipper"

"wintermute and the nest. phobic visions of the hatching wasps, time-lapse machine gune of biology. but weren't the zaibatsus more like that, or the Yakuza, hives with cybernetic memory, vast single organisms, their DNA coded in silicon?"

"Case had always taken it for granted that the real bosses, the kingpins in a given industry, would be both more and less than people. he'd seen it in the men who'd crippled him in Memphis, he'd seen Wage affect the semblance of it in Night City, and it had allowed him to accept Armitage's flatness and lack of feeling. he'd always imagined it as a gradual and willing accomodation of the machine, the system, the parent organism. it was the root of street cool, too, the knowing posture that implied connection, invisible lines up to hidden levels of influence."

“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out
of other people’s money.”

—Margaret Thatcher

"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies," wrote C.S. Lewis, a man who knew a thing or two about religion. "The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

pg 20/21 - Candide: "one day Cunegonde was waling near the house in a little coppice, called 'the park,' when she saw Dr. Pangloss behind some bushes giving a lesson in experimental physics to her mother's waiting-woman, a pretty little brunette who seemed eminently teachable. Since Lady Cunegonde took a great interest in science, she watched the experiments being repeated with breatheless fascination. she saw clearly the Doctor's 'sufficient reason,' and took note of cause and effect. then, in a disturbed and thoughtful state of mind, she returned home full of desire for loearning, and fancied that she could reason equally well with young Candide and he with her"

"This fissure had many philosophical names: soul versus body - mind versus heart - liberty versus equality - the practical versus the moral. But all of these false dichotomies are merely secondary consequences derived by the mystics from one real, basic issue: reason versus mysticism- or, in political terms, reason and freedom versus faith and force."

Ayn Rand- The Intellectual Bankruptcy of Our Age
