Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.

There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits on the human capacity for intelligence, imagination and wonder.

We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success -- only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development.
