Abstract

In economics you cannot convict your opponent of error - you can only convince him of it. And, even if you are right, you cannot convince him, if there is a defect in your powers of persuasion and exposition or if his head is already so filled with contrary notions that he cannot catch the clues to your thought which you are trying to throw at him. (Keynes, 1973, p. 470)
