“Many of the products which create a modern standard of living are only the physical incorporations of ideas- not only the ideas of an Edison or a Ford but the ideas of innumerable anonymous people who figure out the design of supermarkets, the location of gasoline stations, and the million mundane things on which our material well-being depends. Societies which have more people carrying out physical acts and fewer people supplying ideas do not have higher standards of living. Quite the contrary.” PeopleWellsIdeasMillionsModernFiguresDesignMaterialsProductsDependsHigherStandardsContraryWell BeingStationsFewerLocationMundaneSupermarketsStandards Of LivingGasolineHigher StandardsIncorporation Author:Thomas Sowell

“The efficiency of a President at the beginning of his term depends on their capacity to get everything under control. That was my case.
