"To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity."

False dichotomy between profit and utility


The whole difference between the economic analysis of a consumer and that of a producer for the market is this: when you analyze a consumer you only pay attention on how the consumer tries to optimize value for himself while when you analyze a producer for the market you pay attention on how the producer tries to optimize value for buyers as a means to optimize value for himself.
