No one has ever favored a dictatorship to do things other than what he, the supporter of the dictatorship, considers right. Those who rec- ommend dictatorships always have in mind the unchecked domination of their own will, even if this domination is to be implemented by someone else.

'What is wrong with Western civilization is the accepted habit of judging political parties merely by asking whether they seem new and radical enough, not by analyzing whether they are wise or unwise, or whether they are apt to achieve their aims. Not everything that exists today is reasonable; but this does not mean that everything that does not exist is sensible.'

'Only those who unconditionally and unrestrictedly consider the market economy as the only workable form of social cooperation are opponents of the totalitarian systems and are capable of fighting them successfully.

'All national monopolies and — with a few exceptions — all international monopolies owe their existence to tariff legislation. Were the governments really serious about fighting monopolies they would use the effective means they have at their disposal; they would remove the import duties. If they merely did this the "monopoly problem" would lose its importance.'
