Quotes by Mark Skousen (?)

“Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success.”

“A coat is not worth eight times as much as a hat to the community because it takes eight times as long to make it...The community is willing to devote eight times as long to the making of a coat because it will be worth eight times as much to it”
