Kejriwal Woos Farmers With Eye on Punjab Polls, But What About His Responsibility Towards Delhi Voters?
Two famous thinkers of the last century had almost common comment to make on politics, which said, “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
The first person to be attributed this quote is Sir Ernest John Pickstone Benn, a British publisher, writer and political publicist. As a civil servant in the Ministry of Munitions and Reconstruction during the First World War, he came to believe in the benefits of state intervention in the economy. However, after the war in the mid-1920s, he changed his mind and adopted the principles of undiluted laissez-faire which is comparable to the ideas of today’s free market economy.
