"Opponents of globalisation may see it as a new folly, but it is neither particularly new, nor, in general, a folly."

It is not, then, in the content or substance of folly that its difference from truth lies, but in where it comes from. It comes not from 'the wise man's mouth' but from the mouth of the subject assumed not to know and speak the truth.
