Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.
Milton FriedmanEverywhere, and at all times, economic progress has meant far more to the poor than to the rich.
Milton FriedmanPoliticians will always spend every penny of tax raised and whatever else they can get away with.
Milton FriedmanA free society releases the energies and abilities of people to pursue their own objectives. It prevents some people from arbitrarily suppressing others. It does not prevent some people from achieving positions of privilege, but so long as freedom is maintained, it prevents those positions of privilege from becoming institutionalized; they are subject to continued attack by other able, ambitious people.
