On "the superstition that the budget must be balanced" "There is an element of truth in the view that the superstition - that the budget must be balanced at all times - once debunked, takes away one of the bulwarks that every society must have against expenditure out of control. "There must be discipline in the allocation of resources or you will have anarchistic chaos and inefficiency. "One of the functions of old fashioned religion was to scare people - by sometimes what might be regarded as myths - into behaving in a way that long-run civilized life requires."
