----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 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.
