“I’ll do this for you if you’ll do that for me—at better terms than someone else.” Though competing, we also cooperate—in the market, in the family, in firms, and in governments. We cooperate to make the “pie” larger; we compete over how much of the pie each of us gets.”
Armen A. Alchian, Universal Economics

“A right of free speech is not an “economically free” right. It uses scarce resources.”
Armen A. Alchian, Universal Economics

“Choice is merely another name for discrimination—to rank alternatives according to some attribute. It is not discrimination that is condemned, but “invidious” discrimination—by whatever criteria enough people consider undesirable—such as religion, nationality, and gender.”
Armen A. Alchian, Universal Economics
