"Read what [your] professor [asks you to] read. Read not only that, read more. Read everything about the subject from every point of view, be it socialist-Marxist, liberal, libertarian. Read with an open mind. Learn to think. Only when you know your subject from all sides can you decide what is right and what is wrong. Only then are you ready for discussion."
- Ludwig von Mises (Margit von Mises: My Years with Ludwig von Mises)
