The Welfare State is merely a method for transforming the market economy step by step into socialism.

The market economy is the social system of the division of labor under private ownership of the means of production. Everybody acts on his own behalf; but everybodys actions aim at the satisfaction of other peoples needs as well as at the satisfaction of his own. Everybody in acting serves his fellow citizens.

It is untrue that some are poor because others are rich. If an order of society in which incomes were equal replaced the capitalist order, everyone would become poorer.

The policies advocated by the welfare school remove the incentive to saving on the part of private citizens.

Government is an apparatus of compulsion and coercion.

The struggle for freedom is not the struggle of the many against the few, but of minorities, sometimes of a minority of but one man gainst the majority.

Every government intervention [in the marketplace] creates unintended consequences, which lead to calls for further government interventions.
