Man was made for joy and woe,
And when this we rightly know
Through the world we safely go.

 

William Blake

 

Cos? nel tempo che virt? fioria
Ne li antiqui segnori e cavallieri,
Con noi stava allegrezza e cortesia,
E poi fuggirno per strani sentieri,
S? che un gran tempo smarirno la via,
Né del pi? ritornar ferno pensieri;
Ora ? il mal vento e quel verno compito,
E torna il mondo di virt? fiorito.

 

Matteo Maria Boiardo

 

This is what economics now does. It tells the young and susceptible (and also the old and vulnerable) that economic life has no content of power and politics because the firm is safely subordinate to the market and the state and for this reason it is safely at the command of the consumer and citizen. Such an economics is not neutral. It is the influential and invaluable ally of those whose exercise of power depends on an acquiescent public. If the state is the executive committee of the great corporation and the planning system, it is partly because neoclassical economics is its instrument for neutralizing the suspicion that this is so.
