Those politicians, professors and union bosses who curse big business are fighting for a lower standard of living.
Ludwig von MisesDepressions and mass unemployment are not caused by the free market but by government interference in the economy.
Ludwig von MisesThere is no means by which anyone can evade his personal responsibility. Whoever neglects to examine to the best of his abilities all the problems involved voluntarily surrenders his birthright to a selfappointed elite of supermen. In such vital matters blind reliance upon 'experts' and uncritical acceptance of popular catchwords and prejudices is tantamount to the abandonment of self-determination and to yielding to other people's domination. As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His own fate and that of his progeny are at stake.
