Basic questions concerning right and wrong goals to be pursued cannot be settled by mere
science as such. They belong in the realm of ethics and “value judgments”. The citizenry must
ultimately decide such issues.
What the expert can do is point out the feasible alternatives and the true costs that may be
involved in the different decisions. But then the mind must render to the heart that which is
the heart’s domain. (Paul A. Samuelson, Economics: 6)
