Quotes

- The problem of how we finance the welfare state should not obscure a separate issue: if each person thinks he has an inalienable right to welfare, no matter what happens to the world, that's not equity, it's just creating a society where you can't ask anything of people.
- This desire for equity must not lead to an excess of welfare, where nobody is responsible for anything.
