Summary

This quote, often attributed to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes, suggests that when all other possibilities have been exhausted, the remaining explanation, no matter how unlikely or improbable it seems, must be the truth. It implies that in all cases, logical deduction should consider every possible outcome and ultimately seek the most plausible explanation based on the available evidence. It reinforces the idea of considering all options before arriving at a conclusion, even when the truth might seem implausible or unexpected.

The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.
