“Religion is primary. Unless a culture is aspiring toward the good, the true, and the beautiful, and wants the good and the true, really worships God, it readily worships Satan. If we turn away from God, our culture becomes dominated by "Real Crime Stories" and rap music and other spew... When the culture becomes corrupt, then the businesses that serve the culture also become corrupt... Secular culture is in general corrupt, and degraded, and depraved. Because I don't believe in secular culture, I think parochial schools are the only real schools.” GodSchoolReligionCultureSecular Author:George Gilder
“At the heart of capitalism is the unification of knowledge and power. As Friedrich Hayek, the leader of the Austrian school of economics, put it, "To assume all the knowledge to be given to a single mind... is to disregard everything that is important and significant in the real world." Because knowledge is dispersed, power must be as well.” WorldMindWellsHeartImportantRealSchoolGivenLeaderCapitalismEconomicsAssumingSignificantReal WorldDisregardUnificationHayekKnowledge And PowerFriedrich Hayek Book:Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism and How it is Revolutionizing our World Source: Knowledge and Power: The Information Theory of Capitalism and How it is Revolutionizing our World

“Entrepreneurial knowledge has little to do with certified expertise, advanced degrees, or the learning of establishment schools. The fashionably educated and cultivated spurn the kind of fanatically focused learning commanded by the innovators. Wealth all too often comes from doing what other people consider insufferably boring or unendurably hard.” PeopleKindLittlesHardSchoolWealthDegreesBoringFocusedEducatedEstablishmentExpertiseEntrepreneurialInnovators Author:George Gilder
“Some economists became obsessed with market efficiency and others with market failure. Generally held to be members of opposite schools-freshwater and saltwater, Chicago and Cambridge, liberal and conservative, Austrian and Keynesian-both sides share an essential economic vision. They see their discipline as successful insofar as it eliminates surprise-insofar, that is, as the inexorable workings of the machine override the initiatives of the human actors.” HumansSchoolActorsSidesVisionSuccessfulShareEconomicDisciplineMembersEssentialsMachinesOppositesSurpriseConservativeObsessedChicagoInitiativeEfficiencyBoth SidesEconomistCambridgeInexorableMarket FailureMarket Efficiency Author:George Gilder
