Barbarians inside the Gates?
1980s–1990s, Barbarians inside the Gates and Other Controversial Essays (1999)

It never occurs to such people that these products might cost several million dollars more to produce if they were produced by enterprises operating without the incentives to be efficient created by the prospect of profits.”
