“When the goal of political action is no longer the defense of liberty, no word other than demagoguery can describe the despicable nature of politics.”

“The General Theory was not truly revolutionary at all but merely old and oft-refuted mercantilist and inflationist fallacies dressed up in shiny new garb, replete with newly constructed and largely incomprehensible jargon.”
― Murray N. Rothbard, Keynes, the Man

“They should let my son be Federal Reserve chairman. At least he'll play with his toys and not ruin the economy.”

“While there are certainly informational spillovers as ideas move from person to person, it is hard to see why in most instances they are not priced. Although it is possible to imagine examples such as the wheelbarrow where an idea cannot be used without revealing the secret, relatively few ideas are of this type. For copyrightable creations such as books, music, plays, movies and art, unpriced spillovers obviously play little role. A book, a CD or a work of art must be purchased before it can be used, and the creator is free to make use of his creation in the privacy of his home without revealing the secret to the public at large. Similarly with movies or plays. In all cases, the creation must effectively be purchased before the “secret” is revealed.”
― Michele Boldrin, Against Intellectual Monopoly
