Economics, Finance and Politics Through The Prism of Classical Liberalism
Favorite Quotes
- Force always attracts men of low morality. Albert Einstein
- Power is evil in itself, regardless of who exercises it. Ludwig von Mises
- Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington
- The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to have around, especially as President. Hunter S. Thompson
- Economics is a subject profoundly conducive to cliche, resonant with boredom. On few topics is an American audience so practiced in turning off its ears and minds. And none can say that the response is ill advised. John Kenneth Galbraith
- The State acquires power... and because of its insatiable lust for power it is incapable of giving up any of it. The State never abdicates. Frank Chodorov
