He was a student of Murphy.
Ginsburg's conclusions:
Capitalism is based on the belief that you can win.
Communism is based on the belief that you can break even.
Mysticism is based on the belief that you can quit the game.

Murphy's observations on Ginsburg's conclusions:
You can't win.
You can't break even.
You can't quit the game.
