Quotes

• “The institution of taxation is not a civilized but a barbaric method to fund anything... it amounts to... a gross violation of human liberty.”
• “This right to life, this right to liberty, and this right to pursue one’s happiness is unabashedly individualistic, without in the slightest denying at the same time our thoroughly social nature. It’s only that our social relations, while vital to us all, must be chosen—that is what makes the crucial difference.”
• “Without a market in which allocations can be made in obedience to the law of supply and demand, it is difficult or impossible to funnel resources with respect to actual human preferences and goals.”
• “To Marx any talk of rights possessed by people equally, unalienably, absolutely, and universally would have to await the communist epoch when all persons will have reached a common nature, total equality and perfection. Until then people are in a state of incompletion and imperfection, incapable of justifying equal human rights.”
• “[The media] assume, in the way they address politicians or report on social problems, that whatever is important to society must be a matter of public or state concern.”
