Description:

But that I may reveal to you my heart, my friends:if there were Gods, how could I stand it not to be a God! Therefore,there are no Gods. -- quote from Thus spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche, see also Friedrich Nietzsche, A Fighter Against his Time by Rudolf Steiner I have given to mankind the deepest book which it possesses, my Zarathustra;soon I shall give [to mankind] the most independent [book,i.e., a philosophical book profoundly based on personalityand more independent from any other judgement]. -- quote G tzend mmerung (Twilight of Idols) by Friedrich Nietzsche Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill Democracy, too, is a religion. It is the worship of jackals by jackasses." -- H.L. Mencken [direct] democracy is, properly speaking, necessarily a despotism,because it establishes an executive power in which 'all' decide for oreven against one who does not agree; that is, 'all,' who are not quiteall, decide, and this is a contradiction of the general will withitself and with freedom. -- Immanuel Kant. Perpetual Peace. Trans. Lewis White Beck (352) The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money. -- Alexis de Tocqueville more quotes...You can surf this [and many other] website[s, which do not require JavaScript] in full privacy: click ixquick.com, there search "interesting-books-selector.com" and then click "Proxy" in the respective search results.*) The ideal economic policy, both for today and tomorrow, isvery simple. Government should protect and defend againstdomestic and foreign aggression the lives and property ofthe persons under its jurisdiction, settle disputes that arise,and leave the people otherwise free to pursue their variousgoals and ends in life. This is a radical idea in ourinterventionist age. Governments today are often asked toregulate and control production**, to raise the prices of somegoods and services and to lower the prices of others, to fixwages, to help some businesses get started and to keepothers from failing, to encourage or hamper imports andexports, to care for the sick and the elderly, to support theprofligate, and so on and on and on.Ideally government should be a sort of caretaker, not ofthe people themselves, but of the conditions which willallow individuals, producers, traders, workers, entrepreneurs,savers, and consumers to pursue their owngoals in peace. If government does that, and no more, thepeople will be able to provide for themselves much betterthan the government possibly could. This in essence is themessage of Professor Ludwig von Mises in this small volume. -- quote from the introduction of ECONOMIC POLICY- Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow by Ludwig von Mises, 1995 (Lecture in Argentina, 1958) [the Marxians failed to see, that] ... those who are already wealthy capitalists andentrepreneurs, are in their capacity as bourgeois not selfishly interested inthe preservation of laissez faire. Under laissez faire their eminent position isdaily threatened anew by the ambitions of impecunious newcomers. Lawsthat put obstacles in the way of talented upstarts are detrimental to theinterests of the consumers but they protect those who have alreadyestablished their position in business against the competition of intruders. Inmaking it more difficult for a businessman to reap profit and in taxing awaythe greater part of the profits made, they prevent the accumulation of capitalby newcomers and thus remove the inducement that impels old firms towardthe utmost exertion in serving the customers. -- quote from p145, THEORY AND HISTORY - An Interpretation of Social and Economic Evolution by Ludwig von Mises, 1957To me this doesn't sound like the expropriation of the expropriators.******) see SOCIALISM: An Economic and Sociological Analysis by Ludwig von Mises, 1922.****) L. v. Mises est peu connu, mais il est un des plus grand economist scientifique,non-polemique.Parce qu'il n'a jamais fait un compromis dans sa vie, il n'a pas eu le prix nobel pour l'economie.(son disciple F. Hayek - qui est a mon avis un socialist! - l'a eu, une foisL. v. Mises etait mort.Les ecrits de Mises n'ont pas perdu de l'actualite!Les six le ons qui ont eu lieu en Argentine en 1958,ne sont pas trop long et ils expliquent l'essentiell(Inflation, protectionisme, interventionisme, securit sociale, ...).
