“The larger the government, the more our livings standards are reduced. We are fortunate as a civilization that the progress of free enterprise generally outpaces the regress of government growth, for, if that were not the case, we would be poorer each year - not just in relative terms, but absolutely poorer too. The market is smart and the government is dumb, and to these attributes do we owe the whole of our economic well-being.” IfsYearsWellsWholeGovernmentWould BeGrowthTermCasesProgressEconomicCivilizationSmartStandardsDumbWell BeingFortunateEnterpriseAttributesRelativeFree Enterprise Author:Llewellyn Rockwell

No longer do people look to the government as the great problem solver, economic planner, social unifier, or cultural czar. The government is more likely to be seen for what it is, a haven for grafters, liars, and would-be tyrants. Americans, like the Russians, no longer believe anything until it is officially denied.” PeopleBelieveLooksProblemGovernmentWould BeSocialLossEconomicHavensOur TimeLiarsTrendsTyrantsDeniedPlannersProblem SolversLoss Of FaithCzarsMost Encouraging Author:Llewellyn Rockwell
