The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Alcibiades I by Plato: ALCIBIADES: Very true.
SOCRATES: And if he knows not the affairs of others, he will not know the
affairs of states?
ALCIBIADES: Certainly not.
SOCRATES: Then such a man can never be a statesman?
ALCIBIADES: He cannot.
SOCRATES: Nor an economist?
ALCIBIADES: He cannot.
SOCRATES: He will not know what he is doing?
ALCIBIADES: He will not.
SOCRATES: And will not he who is ignorant fall into error?
