This may be my favorite Sowell piece ever.

Example:
"Tasks involving judgment or talents were different because no one can know how much judgment or talent someone else has. In short, knowledge is an inherent constraint on power. Payment can bring forth the knowledge or talent by giving those who have it an incentive to reveal it and to develop it."

Agreed, and the paragraph you selected is dead on the money.
