“If this is the degree of inflation planned for in advance, the real outcome is indeed likely to be such that most of those who will retire at the end of the century will be dependent on the charity of the younger generation. And ultimately not morals but the fact that the young supply the police and the army will decide the issue: concentration camps for the aged unable to maintain themselves are likely to be the fate of an old generation whose income is entirely dependent on coercing the young.” IfsRealEndsFactsYoungMoralIssuesFateGenerationsCenturyDegreesArmyPoliceCharityIncomeOutcomesDependentConcentrationCampsRetiringInflationYounger GenerationConcentration Camp Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
