The truth is that the government cannot give if it does not take from somebody...It is not in the power of the government to make everybody more prosperous.
Ludwig von MisesThe philosophy commonly called individualism is a philosophy of social cooperation and the progressive intensification of the social nexus.
Ludwig von MisesTrue, governments can reduce the rate of interest in the short run. They can issue additional paper money. They can open the way to credit expansion by the banks. They can thus create an artificial boom and the appearance of prosperity. But such a boom is bound to collapse soon or late and to bring about a depression.
