“Lift the curtain and 'the State' reveals itself as a little group of fallible men in Whitehall, making guesses about the future, influenced by political prejudices and partisan prejudices, and working on projections drawn from the past by a staff of economists.” MenLittlesStatesPastPoliticalGroupsPrejudiceLiftsStaffEconomistCurtainsProjectionPartisans Book:Freedom and reality Source: Freedom and reality
