The problem in this world is to avoid concentration of power - we must have a dispersion of power.

The great virtue of a free market is that it enables people who hate each other, or who are from vastly different religious or ethnic backgrounds, to cooperate economically. Government intervention can't do that.

One of the reasons that I am in favor of less government is because when you have more government, industrialists take it over.

There is no person, no theorist so reckless as he who says that the facts speak for themselves.

The government doesn't have any money. The only power it has is to take from some and give to others.

The preservation of liberty, not the promotion of efficiency, is the primary justification for private property. Efficiency is a happy, though not accidental, by-product - and a most important by-product because liberty could not have survived if it had not also produced affluence.

When you argue for free markets, you are arguing against the trend.
