Milton Friedman on Trade Balance and Tariffs

Why Some People Will Never Admit They're Wrong

• The inability to apologize can stem from trying to maintain an idealized image of oneself to avoid shame.

• Refusal to apologize can result from the misguided belief that we shouldn’t have to since we weren't at fault.

• Conviction that no apology is needed can stem from a lack of self- and relational-awareness.

one of the many virtues of Tredoux's book on Galton is the way he generalizes from Galton's observations to make universal points.

This is a striking instance of the obstructions through which new ideas have to force their way. Plain facts are apprehended in a moment but the introduction of a new idea is quite another matter for it requires an alteration in the attitude and balance of the mind.

the quote is Galton's but my compliment to Mr. Tredoux is true.
