Wall Street Journal Quoting G.K. Chesterton Today...

This morning I read an article in which a secular economist (Peter Bernstein in the Wall Street Journal) quoted GK Chesterton in order to highlight the uncertainty of the global markets in 2011. It's not every day that you see Chesterton's name pop up in the Wall Street Journal!

Here's the quote from G.K.C. that the WSJ quoted:
"The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite...It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait." - G.K. Chesterton
