Big business depends entirely on the patronage of those who buy its products: the biggest enterprises loses its power and its influence when it loses its customers.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Anarchism misunderstands the real nature of man. It would be practicable only in a world of angels and saints

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The genuine history of mankind is the history of ideas. It is ideas that distinguish man from all other beings. Ideas engender social institutions, political changes, technologi- cal methods of production, and all that is called economic conditions.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

No one can escape the influence of a prevailing ideology.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

An essential point in the social philosophy of interventionism is the existence of an inexhaustible fund which can be squeezed forever. The whole system of interventionism collapses when the fountain is drained off: The Santa Clause principle liquidates itself.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The interventionist policy (b...

The interventionist policy (big government) provides thousands and thousands of people with safe, placid, and not too strenuous jobs at the expense of the rest of society.

How pale is the art of sorcerers, witches, and conjurors when compared with that of the government's Treasury Department!

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The governments alone are responsible for the spread of the superstitious awe with which the common man looks upon every bit of paper upon which the treasury or agencies which it controls have printed the magical words legal tender.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

All varieties of interference...

All varieties of interference with the market phenomena not only fail to achieve the ends aimed at by their authors and supporters, but bring about a state of affairs which - from the point of view of their authors and advocates valuations - is less desirable than the previous state of affairs which they were designed to alter.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

What makes small business dev...

What makes small business develop into big business is not spending, but saving and capital accumulation.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

History does not provide any ...

History does not provide any example of capital accumulation brought about by a government. As far as governments invested in the construction of roads, railroads, and other useful public works, the capital needed was provided by the savings of individual citizens and borrowed by the government.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The body of economic knowledge is an essential element in the structure of human civilization; it is the foundation upon which modern industrialism and all the moral, intellectual, technological, and therapeutical achievements of the last centuries have been built.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Production is not something p...

Production is not something physical, material, and external; it is a spiritual and intellectual phenomenon.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

It is labor alone that is productive: it creates wealth and therewith lays the outward foundations for the inward flowering of man.

The average American worker enjoys amenities for which Croesus, Crassus, the Medici, and Louis XIV would have envied him.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings...but no one has for those reasons yet sought to celebrate earthquakes and cholera as stimulators of the productive forces in the general interest.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The prerequisite for more economic equality in the world is industrialization. And this is possible only through increased capital investment, increased capital accumulation.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

A citizen who casts his ballot without having to the best of his abilities studied as much economics as he can fails in his civic duties.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

If people do not consume thei...

If people do not consume their whole incomes, the non-consumed surplus can be invested, it increases the amount of capital goods available and thereby makes it possible to embark upon projects which could not be executed before.

Keynes did not teach us how to perform the miracle of turning a stone into bread, but the not at all miraculous procedure of eating the seed corn.
