“La inflación es siempre y en todas partes un fenómeno monetario, en el sentido de que solo es y puede ser producida por un incremento más rápido de la cantidad de dinero que de la producción”. ~ Milton Friedman

“On the free market, it is a happy fact that the maximization of the wealth of one person or group redounds to the benefit of all; but in the political realm, the realm of the State, a maximization of income and wealth can only accrue parasitically to the State and its rulers at the expense of the rest of society.” ~ Murray Rothbard

“The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the long-term effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups.” ~ Henry Hazlitt

“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” ~ F.A. Hayek
