Ludwig von Mises Citizens Quotations

The policies advocated by the welfare school remove the incentive to saving on the part of private citizens.

A citizen who casts his ballot without having to the best of his abilities studied as much economics as he can fails in his civic duties.

Within the market society each serves all his fellow citizens and each is served by them. It is a system of mutual exchange of services and commodities, a mutual giving, and receiving.

Whether we like it or not, it is a fact that economics cannot remain an esoteric branch of knowledge accessible only to small groups of scholars and specialists. Economics deals with society's fundamental problems; it concerns everyone and belongs to all. It is the main and proper study of every citizen.

He who is unfit to serve his fellow citizens wants to rule them.
