Comments on: Intra-Family Pelzman Effect http://theunbrokenwindow.com/2007/08/31/intra-family-pelzman-effect/ The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. - F.A.

Since that discussion went another way a long time ago, I thought I'd come here and let you know that I came across that passage just in the introduction to <em>The Ethics of Liberty</em> and while I was slightly shocked, it's also completely true.
