utah: The Value of Experience
- 01/06/09 03:06 PM
In his highly recommended book, Basic Economics, renowned economist, Dr. Thomas Sowell, recounts the following at the beginning of Chapter 12: A tourist in New York's Greenwich Village decided to have his portrait sketched by a sidewalk artist. He received a very fine sketch, for which he was charged $100. "That's expensive," he said to the artist, "but I'll pay it because it is a great sketch. But, really, it took you only five minutes."
