The Reichswirtschaftsministerium ('Reich Ministry of Economic Affairs') tells the shop managers what and how to produce, at what prices and from whom to buy, at what prices and to whom to sell. It assigns every worker to his job and fixes his wages. It decrees to whom and on what terms the capitalists must entrust their funds. Market exchange is merely a sham.
Ludwig von MisesIf one regards inflation as an evil, then one has to stop inflating. One has to balance the budget of the government.
Ludwig von MisesPublic works are not accomplished by the miraculous power of a magic wand. They are paid for by funds taken away from the citizens.
