What's that old Arabic
heretical saying that Dostoevsky was fond of stating `if god does not
exist everything is permitted'?
Ian Murray
Joan Robinson, in Economic Philosophy, had the last word on this:
"This has to be one of the most stupid things ever written.
Whether or not god exists, it still would not be permitted
to drive on the right in London or to drive on the left
in Paris."
