Quote 1130
Man is portrayed as a cheating, scheming opportunist who devises cruel and unusual incentives to twist the world for his own needs. I think that if a person can get ahead, he'll lie, steal, do whatever, if he thinks the benefits outweigh the costs. If morality is how we'd like the world to work, economics tells us how it really does...sometimes we should all remember that life is about little decisions, that it's about small choices - from Sunday Times interview with Steven Levitt, author of Freakonomics, 10 July 2005
