Jesús Huerta de Soto
“The direct cause of massive unemployment is labour market inflexibility. In fact, state intervention in the labour market and union coercion, made possible by the privileges the legal system confers on unions, results in a series of regulations which make the labour market one of the most rigid. Furthermore, due to the artificial costs labour legislation generates, the discounted value of a worker's real marginal productivity tends to fall short of the total labour cost the entrepreneur incurs in hiring the worker. This leads to markedly high unemployment, which will affect all workers whose expected marginal productivity yields a discounted value lower than the cost involved in employing them. Therefore they will be dismissed or not hired at all.”
Jesús Huerta de Soto, Money, Bank Credit, and Economic Cycles

Eric Ambler
“International big business has made revolutions before now to safeguard its interests. At one time it made them … in the name of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Now, with Socialism to fight, it makes them in the name of Law and Order and Sound Finance. Assassination? If an assassination is going to be good for business, then there will be an assassination.”
Eric Ambler , The Mask of Dimitrios
