Happy 140th Birthday to Ludwig von Mises!

“A society that chooses between capitalism and socialism does not choose between two social systems; it chooses between social cooperation and the disintegration of society.”

From the Orange County Register, “Having lived through the wars of the 20th century, and fundamentally believing that the cornerstone of human prosperity is peaceful social interaction, Mises also wrote stridently against war and nationalism.

War, he argued, was a consequence of letting governments grow beyond the core functions of protecting life, liberty and property. ‘Whoever wants peace among nations must seek to limit the state and its influence most strictly,’ he argued.”
