Väärtuste ümberhindamisest

Objektiivseid asjaolusid, eriti mineviku omi, tihti muuta ei saa, küll aga oma suhtumist neisse ("recalibrate"). Ehk aitab see soovitus tänasest FT-st pehmemalt maanduda:

“When the profits of trade happen
to be greater than ordinary,
overtrading becomes a general error. …

Rate of profit is always highest
in the countries that are
going fastest to ruin.”

Adam Smith,
The Wealth of Nations
1776
