No one can escape the influence of a prevailing ideology.

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

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

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Big business depends entirely...

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

Without speculation there can be no economic activity reaching beyond the immediate present.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

There is simply no other choice than this: either to abstain from interference in the free play of the market, or to delegate the entire management of production and distribution to the government. Either capitalism or socialism: there exists no middle way.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Our whole civilization rests ...

Our whole civilization rests on the fact that men have always succeeded in beating off the attack of the re-distributors.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Most of us have no sympathy w...

Most of us have no sympathy with the rich idler who spends his life in pleasure without ever doing any work. But even he fulfills a function in the life of the social organism. He sets an example of luxury that awakens in the multitude a consciousness of new needs and gives industry the incentive to fulfill them.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

In the capitalist society there is a place and bread for all. Its ability to expand provides sustenance for every worker. Permanent unemployment is not a feature of free capitalism.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

What makes the existence and ...

What makes the existence and the evolution of society possible is precisely the fact that peaceful cooperation under the social division of labor in the long run best serves the selfish concerns of all individuals. The eminence of the market society is that its whole functioning and operation is the consummation of this principle.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Government and state can neve...

Government and state can never be perfect because they owe their raison d'?tre to the imperfection of man and can attain their end, the elimination of man's innate impulse to violence, only by recourse to violence, the very thing they are called upon to prevent.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Experience shows that nothing...

Experience shows that nothing is operated with less economy and with more waste of labor and material of every kind than public services and undertakings. Private enterprise on the other hand naturally induces the owner to work with the greatest economy in his own interest.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

No one should expect that any...

No one should expect that any logical argument or any experience could ever shake the almost religious fervor of those who believe in salvation through spending and credit expansion.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

A genius is always a teacher,...

A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.

Reason is the main resource of man in his struggle for survival.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The liberals of the eighteenth century, guided by the ideas of natural law and of the Enlightenment, demanded for everyone equality of political and civil rights... Nothing, however, is as ill-founded as the assertion of the alleged equality of all members of the human race.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

It is the rule of law alone which hinders the rulers from turning themselves into the worst gangsters.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Thoughts and ideas are not phantoms. They are real things. Although intangible and immaterial, they are factors in bringing about changes in the realm of tangible and material things.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

The aim of all struggles for ...

The aim of all struggles for liberty is to keep in bounds the armed defenders of peace, the governors and their constables. The political concept of the individual's freedom means: freedom from arbitrary action on the part of the police power.

Ludwig von Mises 577 quotes

Marx and Engels openly declared that the progressive income tax and the death tax are 'economically untenable' and that they advocated them only because 'they necessitate further inroads' upon the capitalist system and are 'unavoidable' as a means of bringing about socialism.
