Text Quotes
The State thrives on war - unless, of course, it is defeated and crushed - expands on it, glories in it (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
It is in war that the State really comes into it's own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Who wants good people in government? Good people should be in the private sector. Helping us out, helping themselves out in the private sector. We want schmoes in government. We want people who can’t find the doorknob. Why waste productive people, as well as looting the taxpayer? (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Absolute freedom need not be lost as the price we must pay for the advent of civilization. Man may achieve liberty and abundance, freedom and civilization (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Remember that the minimum wage law provides no jobs; it only outlaws them; and outlawed jobs are the inevitable result (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Equality is not in the natural order of things, and the crusade to make everyone equal in every respect (except before the law) is certain to have disastrous consequences (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Governmental subsidy systems promote inefficiency in production and efficiency in coercion and subservience, while penalizing efficiency in production and inefficiency in predation (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Subjectivism is not an absolute principle; it is a necessary but not sufficient condition for sound methodology (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
I want to make it clear what I am not saying. I am not saying that fiat money, once established on the ruins of gold, cannot then continue indefinitely on it's own (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Money... is the nerve center of the economic system. If, therefore, the state is able to gain unquestioned control over the unit of all accounts, the state will then be in a position to dominate the entire economic system, and the whole society (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Money is different from all other commodities: other things being equal, more shoes, or more discoveries of oil or copper benefit society, since they help alleviate natural scarcity. But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed. Since the only use of money is for exchange and reckoning, more dollars or pounds or marks in circulation cannot confer a social benefit: they will simply dilute the exchange value of every existing dollar or pound or mark (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
On the free market, everyone earns according to his productive value in satisfying consumer desires. Under statist distribution, everyone earns in proportion to the amount he can plunder from the producers (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Every man must have freedom, must have the scope to form, test, and act upon his own choices, for any sort of development of his own personality to take place. He must, in short, be free in order that he may be fully human (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Gold was not selected arbitrarily by governments to be the monetary standard. Gold had developed for many centuries on the free market as the best money; as the commodity providing the most stable and desirable monetary medium (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Minimum wage laws tragically generate unemployment, especially among the poorest and least skilled or educated workers... Because a minimum wage, of course, does not guarantee any worker’s employment; it only prohibits, by force of law, anyone from being hired at the wage which would pay his employer to hire him (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
The problem is that he originated nothing that was true, and that whatever he originated was wrong (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
The libertarian must never advocate or prefer a gradual, as opposed to an immediate and rapid, approach to his goal. For by doing so, he undercuts the overriding importance of his own goals and principles. And if he himself values his own goals so lightly, how highly will others value them (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Human life is not some sort of race or game in which each person should start from an identical mark. It is an attempt by each man to be as happy as possible. And each person could not begin from the same point, for the world has not just come into being; it is diverse and infinitely varied in its parts. The mere fact that one individual is necessarily born in a different place from someone else immediately insures that his inherited opportunity cannot be the same as his neighbor’s (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
There can be no truly moral choice unless that choice is made in freedom; similarly, there can be no really firmly grounded and consistent defense of freedom unless that defense is rooted in moral principle. In concentrating on the ends of choice, the conservative, by neglecting the conditions of choice, loses that very morality of conduct with which he is so concerned. And the libertarian, by concentrating only on the means, or conditions, of choice and ignoring the ends, throws away an essential moral defense of his own position (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
The state has typically been a device for producing affluence for a few at the expense of many (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
States have always needed intellectuals to con the public into believing that its rule is wise, good, and inevitable (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
The more the government intervenes to delay the market's adjustment, the longer and more grueling the depression will be, and the more difficult will be the road to complete recovery (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Placing the state in charge of moral principles is equivalent to putting the proverbial fox in charge of the chicken coop (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Harold, the young kids out there are not going to be willing to go to the barricades in defense of lowered transaction costs (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Money is a commodity... Not a useless token only good for exchanging;... It differs from other commodities in being demanded mainly as a medium of exchange (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant punishment, subject of course to liability when they are in error (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
Inflation may be defined as any increase in the economy’s supply of money not consisting of an increase in the stock of the money metal (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
The State is a gang of thieves writ large - the most immoral, grasping and unscrupulous individuals in any society (Murray Rothbard Quotes)
