Ancient Wisdom

vi INTRODUCTION: The Hidden Side of Everything 3 In which the book’s central idea is set forth: namely, if morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work.

the pen of the falsifying copyists has converted it into lie. The wise men must therefore be ashamed and dismayed. They have thrown away the word of the Lord. What wisdom do they possess then?” (Jeremiah 8: 9) Modern scientific research has disclosed the fact that these forgeries extended like a devastating plague to all of the ancient documents.

long time ago: either that or it mutated into an admirable but nebulous humanism, as did, say, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a brave Lutheran pastor hanged by the Nazis for his refusal to collude with them. We shall have no more prophets or sages from the ancient quarter, which is why the devotions of today are only the echoing repetitions of yesterday, sometimes ratcheted up to screaming point so as to ward off the terrible emptiness.
