Õigustatud nätakas - loomulikult mõtlesin ma Hober Mallowit - kes Hardinit küll tsiteeris ühes pikemas lõigus:tuna kirjutas:Salvor Hardin polnud kaupmees ja ta ei kavandanud ega viinud ka läbi kaubandussõdu.Dr.Sci kirjutas:Ehk nagu kunagi kauges tulevikus üks kaubandussõda planeerinud ja pidanud kaupmees ütleski:
“An atom-blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways.” — Salvor Hardin
Economic control worked differently. And to paraphrase that famous Salvor Hardin quotation of
yours, it's a poor nuclear blaster that won't point both ways. If Korell prospered with our trade,
so did we. If Korellian factories fail without our trade; and if the prosperity of the outer worlds
vanishes with commercial isolation; so will our factories fail and our prosperity vanish.
"And there isn't a factory, not a trading center. not a shipping line that isn't under my control;
that I couldn't squeeze to nothing if Sutt attempts revolutionary propaganda. Where his
propaganda succeeds, or even looks as though it might succeed, I will make certain that
prosperity dies. Where it fails, prosperity will continue, because my factories will remain fully
staffed.
"So by the same reasoning which makes me sure that the Korellians will revolt in favor of
prosperity, I am sure we will not revolt against it. The game will be played out to its end."
