“It is all too true that the disease of most economists is to think solely in terms of a phantom 'efficiency,' and to believe that they can then make political pronouncements as pure value-free social technicians, divorced from ethics and the moral realm. While I was convinced that the free market was more efficient and would bring about a far more prosperous would than statism, my major concern was moral: the insight that coercion and aggression of one man over another was criminal and iniquitous, and must be combated and abolished.”
― Murray N. Rothbard, The Betrayal Of The American Right
