The brilliant American economist Milton Friedman could convey profound concepts in a sublimely concise and approachable way. Here are three examples that are most apropos for current events:

"Concentrated power is not rendered harmless by the good intentions of those who create it."

"Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself."

Very wise guy, that Milton Friedman...

Gee.  We never saw that coming, Anita...  In other news, the grass is green and the sky is blue!
