More from Ludwig von Mises
The real bosses in the capitalist system of market economy are the consumers. They by their buying and by their abstention from buying decide who should own the capital and run the plants. They determine what should be produced and in what quantity and quality.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises State interference in economic life, which calls itself economic policy, has done nothing but destroy economic life. Prohibitions and regulations have by their general obstructive tendency fostered the growth of the spirit of wastefulness.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises True, governments can reduce the rate of interest in the short run. They can issue additional paper money.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises Whoever prefers life to death, happiness to suffering, well-being to misery must defend without compromise private ownership in the means of production.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises It is vain to fight totalitarianism by adopting totalitarian methods. Freedom can only be won by men unconditionally committed to the principles of freedom.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises He who serves the public best, makes the highest profits.

Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises The mark of the creative mind is that it defies a part of what it has learned.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His own fate and that of his progeny are at stake.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises What the advocates of these tax rates fail to realize is that the greater part of the incomes taxed away would not have been consumed but saved and invested.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises The final outcome of the credit expansion is general impoverishment.
Ludwig von MisesLudwig von Mises Unemployment doles can have no other effect than the perpetuation of unemployment.
