I’m internet/phone/tv-less at my new house so posting this from my phone, but I had to share this quote from Cosma Shalizi:

I have always felt a certain horror of political economists, since I heard one of them say that he feared the famine of 1848 in Ireland would not kill more than a million people, and that would scarcely be enough to do much good.

—Attrib. to Benjamin Jowett

Lovely stuff.

Back to regular posting once internet is restored.
