The original of Barkley's quotation ("they know the price of everything and 
the value of nothing") is from Oscar Wilde (Picture of Dorian Gray): 
 
"What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of 
nothing." 
 
I don't know that economists as a class are particularly cyncial.
