Thank god, we are still left with a few reasonably smart
Homo Sapiens:
“It is the maxim of
every prudent master of a family, never to attempt to make at home what it will
cost him more to make than to buy. ... If a foreign country can supply us with
a commodity cheaper than we ourselves can make it, better buy it of them with
some part of the produce of our own industry, employed in a way in which we
have some advantage.” – Adam Smith (1776)
