Neoliberalism: the idea that swallowed the world by Stephen Metcalf:
"What can’t be quantified must not be real, says the economist [Hayek], and how do you measure the benefits of the core faiths of the enlightenment – namely, critical reasoning, personal autonomy and democratic self-government? When we abandoned, for its embarrassing residue of subjectivity, reason as a form of truth, and made science the sole arbiter of both the real and the true, we created a void that pseudo-science was happy to fill."
