Economics, Finance and Politics Through The Prism of Classical Liberalism

Often the masses are plundered and do not know it.
Frederic Bastiat
A fiat-money inflation can be carried on only as long as the masses do not become aware of the fact that the government is committed to such a policy.
Ludwig von Mises

In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. ... This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.
Alan Greenspan
The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.
Herbert Spencer

We Must Never Forget

“We must never forget” is a phrase we hear often. It is attached properly to such terrible events as 911, The Holocaust etc. Behind all of these tragedies lies a common thread — the abhorrence of liberty and freedom. On the twentieth anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, it seems appropriate to remember the horrors that were on the other side of that wall. This video does so in just a small way.

The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say, "How is the president?"
Will Rogers
If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion.
Friedrich Hayek
It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.
H. L. Mencken
It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
George Washington
When the rule of law and free market economics are threatened, intellectual and monetary capital flee to friendlier areas.
