More quotes by Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises
The first socialists were the intellectuals they, and not the masses, are the backbone of Socialism.
Ludwig von Mises
The average American worker enjoys amenities for which Croesus, Crassus, the Medici, and Louis XIV would have envied him.
Ludwig von Mises
Nobody can be at the same time a correct bureaucrat and an innovator
Ludwig von Mises
The history of mankind is the history of ideas. For it is ideas, theories, and doctrines that guide human action, determine the ultimate ends men aim at, and the choice of the means employed for the attainment of these ends.
Ludwig von Mises
He who serves the public best, makes the highest profits.
Ludwig von Mises
Each epoch has found in the Gospels what it sought to find there, and has overlooked what it wished to overlook.

Ludwig von Mises
A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society. Socialism is not an alternative to capitalism it is an alternative to any system under which men can live as human beings.
Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises
Under capitalism everybody is the architect of his own fortune.
Ludwig von Mises
What can prevent the coming of totalitarian socialism is only a thorough change in ideologies. What we need is an open positive endorsement of that system to which we owe all the wealth that distinguished our age from the conditions of ages gone by.
Ludwig von Mises
The main achievement of economics is that it has provided a theory of peaceful human cooperation. This is why the harbingers of violent conflict have branded it as a dismal science and why this age of wars, civil wars, and destruction has no use for it.
Ludwig von Mises
Economic theory has demonstrated in an irrefutable way that a prosperity created by an expansionist monetary and credit policy is illusory and must end in a slump, an economic crisis.
Ludwig von Mises
Society is only possible on these terms, that the individual finds therein a strengthening of his own ego and his own will.
Ludwig von Mises
An essential point in the social philosophy of interventionism is the existence of an inexhaustible fund which can be squeezed forever. The whole system of interventionism collapses when the fountain is drained off: The Santa Clause principle liquidates itself.
Ludwig von Mises
In spite of the anticapitalistic policies of all governments and of almost all political parties, the capitalist mode of production
Ludwig von Mises
Men are fighting one another because they are convinced that the extermination and liquidation of adversaries is the only means of promoting their own well-being.
Ludwig von Mises
Public works are not accomplished by the miraculous power of a magic wand. They are paid for by funds taken away from the citizens.
Ludwig von Mises
Economically considered, war and revolution are always bad business.
Ludwig von Mises
