Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Suckers think that you cure greed with money, addiction with substances, expert problems with experts, banking with bankers, economics with economists, and debt crises with debt spending”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms

“The main mark of modern governments is that we do not know who governs, de facto any more than de jure. We see the politician and not his backer; still less the backer of the backer; or, what is most important of all, the banker of the backer.”
JRR Tolkein
