“The important question is, therefore, not whether anarchy is possible or not, but whether we can so enlarge the scope and influence of libertarian methods that they become the normal way in which human beings organise their society.”
― Colin Ward, Anarchy in Action

“We really don’t get all the government we pay for, and thank goodness. Lord protect us on the day that we do.”
― Jeffrey Tucker, Bourbon for Breakfast: Living Outside the Statist Quo

“As regards the social apparatus of repression and coercion, the government, there cannot be any question of freedom. Government is essentially the negation of liberty. It is the recourse to violence or threat of violence in order to make all people obey the orders of the government, whether they like it or not. As far as the government’s jurisdiction extends, there is coercion, not freedom. Government is a necessary institution, the means to make the social system of cooperation work smoothly without being disturbed by violent acts on the part of gangsters whether of domestic or of foreign origin. Government is not, as some people like to say, a necessary evil; it is not an evil, but a means, the only means available to make peaceful human coexistence possible. But it is the opposite of liberty. It is beating, imprisoning, hanging. Whatever a government does it is ultimately supported by the actions of armed constables.”
― Ludwig von Mises, Liberty And Property

“The pillars of classical liberalism call for flat taxes, with revenues put to limited uses; strong property rights; and free markets.”
― Richard Epstein, Why Progressive Institutions are Unsustainable

“Camille Paglia is: 'the nipple-pierced person's Phyllis Schlafly who poses as a sexual renegade but is in fact the most dutiful of patriarchal daughters.”
― Naomi Wolf

“The sense that just about anything goes with the collection of public revenues and the making of public expenditure has contributed mightily to the current malaise.”
― Richard Epstein, Why Progressive Institutions are Unsustainable

“The government never minds having more power, and is always prepared to paper over the problems it creates. An economy not bludgeoned by powerful elites is the ideal we should seek, even if it has a name that is wildly unpopular: capitalism”
― Jeffrey Tucker, Bourbon for Breakfast: Living Outside the Statist Quo

“That effort to undermine competitive markets is no better in the market for labor than it is for goods and services.”
― Richard Epstein, Why Progressive Institutions are Unsustainable

“Securing, not prohibiting, the orderly transfer of wealth from A to B, based on wealth differentials, is the raison d'être of the [New Deal programs]. The contrast between the modern progressive and classical liberal agendas could not be more explicit.”
― Richard Epstein, Why Progressive Institutions are Unsustainable

“The desire to avoid short-term hardships leads to major dislocations in [housing] markets.”
