More From Albert Einstein

We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm and the misguided. and those who have an interest in keeping the machinery of war going are a very powerful body; they will stop at nothing to make public opinion subservient to their murderous ends.
Depressing Powerful War
The 'public' is a phantom, the phantom of an opinion supposed to exist in a vast number of persons who have no effective interrelation and though the opinion is not effectively present in the units. such an opinion is spoken of as 'public opinion,' a fiction which is appealed to by individuals and by groups as supporting their special views. it is impalpable, illusory, transient; "'tis here, 'tis there, 'tis gone"; a nullity which can nevertheless for a moment endow the multitude with power to uplift or destroy.

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. it is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. it is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.
