“يظن معظم المتخصصين في العلوم الاجتماعية أن المنهج نفسه — « المنهج العلمي » — ينبغي تطبيقه في مجالاتهم أيضًا . لكن المشكلة تكمن في أن الأشياء التي يدرسونها لديها عقول بكل ما تحمله الكلمة من معنى . وقد تبين أنه من العسير للغاية وضع مجموعة من القوانين الموجزة التي يمكنها أن تتنبأ بدقة بسلوك الأشخاص في مختلف الظروف . ففي العلوم الاجتماعية — لا سيما علم الاقتصاد — تكون الأمور أكثر تعقيدًا بكثير بحيث يستحيل في كثير من الحالات إجراء تجربة علمية منهجية موجَّهة حقًّا .”

“Economics deals with society's fundamental problems; it concerns everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of every citizen.”

“If the government turns a blind eye to striking union members who use violence against employers or “scabs” (strike breakers), while at the same time the government stands ready to use its police power to prevent management from hiring armed personnel to disperse the picketing union members, then the union is implicitly allowed to set its own minimum wage rate for the firm being targeted. The economic effects are the same as with an explicit government-imposed minimum wage: institutional unemployment, which in such cases falls disproportionately on lower-skilled workers outside of the union.”

“Love in the Quran is very capricious. Culturally, love in Islam should only be given to someone if they are also a Muslim and loves you back; which is contradictory to the Bible for which Muhammad claimed was an extension of the Quran. In total, out of the whole Quran, only about 5 verses pertain to nonmaterialistic and unconditional love. Of these 5, 3 refer to loving Muslims only while the 4th commands love for Allah. The final is a reference to charity which is to be given explicitly to Muslims only.29 It’s understandable now why Muslim women refuse to shake hands with unbelievers, and why treaties between Muslim and non-Muslim countries never last.”
