“I thoroughly enjoyed There Is No Free Lunch, which has a lot of my favorite economic quotes and a bunch of new favorites.  The book is a reminder that truisms in life are truisms in finance as well while underscoring it is the individual that is best positioned to unlock his or her own potential and it is wise for the government to move out the way and allow it to happen.  This will end up on your desk as a handy reference guide and from time to time as a pick me up when your faith in free markets might be waning.”
