Running, Ideas, Political

The real bosses in the capitalist system of market economy are the consumers. They by their buying and by their abstention from buying decide who should own the capital and run the plants. They determine what should be produced and in what quantity and quality. Their attitudes result either in profit or in loss for the enterpriser. They make poor men rich and rich men poor. They are no easy bosses.

Ludwig Von Mises (1944). “Bureaucracy”

They can thus create an artificial boom and the appearance of prosperity. But such a boom is bound to collapse soon or late and to bring about a depression.

The eminence of the market society is that its whole functioning and operation is the consummation of this principle.

Ludwig Von Mises (1962). “The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science: An Essay on Method”

In the long run even the most despotic governments with all their brutality and cruelty are no match for ideas.

Then the oppressed many will rise in rebellion and overthrow their masters.
