[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

“Nothing distinguishes more clearly conditions in a free country from those in a country under arbitrary government than the observance in the former of the great principles known as the Rule of Law.”

— Friedrich Hayek

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

So true!

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

“An essential condition for preserving a free society is that we do not countenance envy, not sanction its demands by camouflaging it as social justice, but treat it, in the words of John Stuart Mill, as ‘the most anti-social and evil of all passions.’”

— Friedrich Hayek

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

“Prices must be interpreted as signals of what people ought to do... Marxism blinds you to the essential function of prices in securing a coordination in the market.”

— Friedrich Hayek

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

“The concept of ‘social justice’ has been the trojan horse through which totalitarianism has entered.”

— Friedrich Hayek

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

George Orwell, reviewing The Road to Serfdom in 1944:

“Professor Hayek’s thesis is that Socialism inevitably leads to despotism, and that in Germany the Nazis were able to succeed because the Socialists had already done most of their work for them, especially the intellectual work of weakening the desire for liberty.

By bringing the whole of life under the control of the State, Socialism necessarily gives power to an inner ring of bureaucrats, who in almost every case will be men who want power for its own sake and will stick at nothing in order to retain it.

Britain, he says, is now going the same road as Germany, with the left-wing intelligentsia in the van and the Tory Party a good second. The only salvation lies in returning to an unplanned economy, free competition, and emphasis on liberty rather than on security.”

Adam Smith wrote this in 1776. Nothing has changed.

That's why we're all for limited government.

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

“You have everybody screaming that we ought to have new, bigger, more generous government programs. Where are we going to raise the money?”

— Milton Friedman

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman:

“If you look at every program that the government has adopted in the direction of extending its scope, it took an enormous propaganda campaign by special interest groups to get those measures passed.

There was no underlying public demand for those measures.”

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Elon Musk: “Wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool. They tried to shut down Chappelle. Come on, man, that is crazy. So do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation and hate, and no forgiveness?”

[F. A. Hayek Quotes @FAHayekSays]

“Keynes, against his intentions, had stimulated the development of macroeconomics. I was convinced that not only his particular conclusions but the whole foundation of macroeconomics was wrong.”

— Friedrich Hayek

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Milton Friedman: “History shows that the government will spend whatever the tax system will yield plus as much more as it can get away with and now government is too big.”

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman: “In a free market, if you and I make a deal, we both benefit. In a political situation, if you benefit, it’s at my expense.”

“The important thing is to have a world in which people can cooperate without using force, and the only way you can cooperate without using force is if everybody benefits from the deal.”
