Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises

The eminence of the market society is that its whole functioning and operation is the consummation of this principle.
Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises
There is no reason why capitalists and entrepreneurs should be ashamed of earning profits.
Ludwig von Mises
The interventionist policy (big government) provides thousands and thousands of people with safe, placid, and not too strenuous jobs at the expense of the rest of society.
Ludwig von Mises
Western civilization is based upon the libertarian principle, and all its achievements are the results of the action of free men.
Ludwig von Mises
The philosophy commonly called individualism is a philosophy of social cooperation and the progressive intensification of the social nexus.
Ludwig von Mises
When we call a capitalist society a consumers democracy we mean that the power to dispose of the means of production, which belongs to the entrepreneurs and capitalists, can only be acquired by means of the consumers ballot, held daily in the marketplace.
Ludwig von Mises
Nobody can be at the same time a correct bureaucrat and an innovator
Ludwig von Mises
It is certain that many intellectuals envy the higher income of prosperous businessmen and that these feelings drive them toward socialism. They believe that the authorities of a socialist commonwealth would pay them higher salaries than those that they earn under capitalism.
Ludwig von Mises
Aggressors cannot wage total war without introducing Socialism.
Ludwig von Mises
