Ayn Rand
“Capitalism was the only system in history where wealth was not acquired by looting, but by production, not by force, but by trade, the only system that stood for man's right to his own mind, to his work, to his life, to his happiness, to himself.”
Ayn Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

Henry Hazlitt
“the belief that public works necessarily create new jobs is false. If the money was raised by taxation, we saw, then for every dollar that the government spent on public works one less dollar was spent by the taxpayers to meet their own wants, and for every public job created one private job was destroyed.”
Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics

Ayn Rand
“The right to agree with others is not a problem in any society; it is the right to disagree that is crucial.”
Ayn Rand, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal

Henry Hazlitt
“Contrary to a popular impression, profits are achieved not by raising prices, but by introducing economies and efficiencies that cut costs of production.”
Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics

Henry Hazlitt
“The function of profits, finally, is to put constant and unremitting pressure on the head of every competitive business to introduce further economies and efficiencies, no matter to what stage these may already have been brought.”
Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest and Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics
