“Some of these Gods, indeed, we have but lately learnt to call by their usual Egyptian names; but the power of each one was known and honoured from the beginning.”
—Plutarch.“It is probable that while the influence of custom over prices, wages and rent has been overrated, its influence over the forms of production and the general economic arrangements of society has been underrated. In the one case its effects are obvious, but they are not cumulative; and in the other they are not obvious, but they are cumulative. And it is an almost universal rule that when the effects of a cause, though small at any one time, are constantly working in the same direction, their influence is much greater than at first sight appears possible.”
