E dè cải cách

giành giật quyền lực là chính...
-----
trích dẫn hôm nay… is from page 281 of Frank Knight’s 1950 Presidential address to the American Economic Association – an address titled “The Role of Principles in Economics and Politics” – as this address is slightly modified and reprinted in the 1956 collection of several of Knight’s papers and speeches, On the History and Method of Economics:


I mistrust reformers (nhà cải cách). When a man or group asks for “power (quyền, quyền lực) to do good,” my impulse (cơn bốc đồng) is to say, “Oh, yeah, who ever wanted power for any other reason, and what have they done when they got it?” So, I instinctively want to cancel the last three words, leaving simply, “I want power”; that is easy to believe. And a further confession: I am reluctant (e dè, e ngại) to believe in doing good with power anyhow.
