Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises
Value is not intrinsic, it is not in things. It is within us it is the way in which man reacts to the conditions of his environment. Neither is value in words and doctrines, it is reflected in human conduct. It is not what a man or groups of men say about value that counts, but how they act.
Ludwig von Mises
If you increase the quantity of money, you bring about the lowering of the purchasing power of the monetary unit.
Ludwig von Mises
What mankind needs today is liberation from the rule of nonsensical slogans and a return to sound reasoning.
Ludwig von Mises
There can be no freedom in art and literature where the government determines who shall create them.
Ludwig von Mises
