Ludwig von Mises
Socialism and interventionism. Both have in common the goal of subordinating the individual unconditionally to the state.
Ludwig von Mises
Tyranny is the political corollary of socialism, as representative government is the political corollary of the market economy.
Ludwig von Mises
The most successful businessmen were often uneducated when measured by the scholastic standards of the teaching profession. But they were equal to their social function of adjusting production to the most urgent demand. Because of these merits the consumers chose them for business leadership.
Ludwig von Mises
The better an entrepreneur succeeds, the more is he vilified and themore is he soaked by taxation.
Ludwig von Mises

Ludwig von Mises
In public administration there is no connection between revenue and expenditure.
Ludwig von Mises
Permanent mass unemployment destroys the moral foundations of the social order. The young people, who, having finished their training for work, are forced to remain idle, are the ferment out of which the most radical political movements are formed. In their ranks the soldiers of the coming revolutions are recruited.
Ludwig von Mises
To the masses, the catchwords of Socialism sound so enticing... so they will continue to work for Socialism, helping thereby to bring about the inevitable decline of the civilization which the nations of the West have taken thousands of years to build up.
Ludwig von Mises
Only the naive inflationist's could believe that government could enrich mankind through fiat money.
Ludwig von Mises
The main political problem is how to prevent the police power from becoming tyrannical. This is the meaning of all the struggles for liberty.
Ludwig von Mises
Government is a guarantor of liberty and is compatible with liberty only if its range is adequately restricted to the preservation of what is called economic freedom.
Ludwig von Mises
Nobody is in a position to decree what should make a fellow man happier.
Ludwig von Mises
Only to bureaucrats can the idea occur that establishing new offices, promulgating new decrees, and increasing the number of government employees alone can be described as positive and beneficial measures.
Ludwig von Mises
Is still fulfilling its social function in supplying the consumers with more, better and cheaper goods.
Ludwig von Mises
