Economists may not know much. But we know one thing very well: how to produce surpluses and shortages. Do you want a surplus? Have the government legislate a minimum price that is above the price that would otherwise prevail.

Have the government legislate a maximum price that is below the price that would otherwise prevail.

Milton Friedman

Redemption is promised at the low price of surrender of your critical faculties.

I think there certainly was a milestone in the '90s with regards to the Internet achieving critical mass.
