Niall Ferguson Quotes

A Recurrent Theme In Kissinger's Early Writing Is The Historical Ignorance Of The Typical American Decision-maker. Lawyers, He Remarked In 1968, Are The "single Most Important Group In Government, But They Do Have This Drawback - A Deficiency In History." For Kissinger, History Was Doubly Important: As A Source Of Illuminating Analogies And As The Defining Factor In National Self-understanding. Americans Might Doubt History's Importance, But, As Kissinger Wrote, "Europeans, Living On A Continent Covered With Ruins Testifying To The Fallibility Of Human Foresight, Feel In Their Bones That History Is More Complicated Than Systems Analysis."
