The masses do not like those who surpass them in any regard. The average man envies and hates those who are different.
Ludwig von MisesThe masses, in their capacity as consumers, ultimately determine everybody's revenues and wealth.
Ludwig von MisesInequality of wealth and incomes is an essential feature of the market economy. It is the implement that makes the consumers supreme in giving them the power to force all those engaged in production to comply with their orders. It forces all those engaged in production to the utmost exertion in the service of the consumers. It makes competition work. He who best serves the consumers profits most and accumulates riches.
