Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises
Historical knowledge is indispensable for those who want to build a better world
Ludwig von Mises
No private enterprise will ever fall prey to bureaucratic methods of management if it is operated with the sole aim of making profit.
Ludwig von Mises
It is the rule of law alone which hinders the rulers from turning themselves into the worst gangsters.
Ludwig von Mises
What makes the existence and the evolution of society possible is precisely the fact that peaceful cooperation under the social division of labor in the long run best serves the selfish concerns of all individuals. The eminence of the market society is that its whole functioning and operation is the consummation of this principle.
Ludwig von Mises
There is no other planning for freedom and general welfare than to let the market system work.
Ludwig von Mises
Despots and democratic majorities are drunk with power.
