Capitalism & Morality 2012 |
“This idea that the government has services or goods that they can pass on is a complete farce. Governments have nothing. They can't create anything, they never have. All they can do is steal from one group and give it to another at the destruction of the principles of freedom.” |
“To the masses, the catchwords of Socialism sound so enticing… so they will continue to work for Socialism, helping thereby to bring about the inevitable decline of the civilization which the nations of the West have taken thousands of years to build up.” -Ludwig von Mises |
Here is the link to the video recording of the seminar held on 28 July 2012 Please join us in a Seminar to discuss the vital importance of social and economic liberty. Five internationally renowned speakers will demonstrate that laissez-faire capitalism is the only ethical system, and alone can ensure prosperity. Rather than the free marketplace, it is the gigantic size and horrendous growth of big government that is the problem. This year’s seminar will ask: What is it about our fundamental beliefs and paradigms that lead so many of us into the trap of socialism and statism, confining us to live a life of desperation and negativity, and dependence on others?

“Contrary to the vulgar belief that men are motivated primarily by materialistic considerations, we now see the capitalist system being discredited and destroyed all over the world, even though this system has given men the greatest material comforts”
-Ayn Rand |
“It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a 'dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." |
"...if we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion." |
"The free market punishes irresponsibility. Government rewards it." “Morally acting man seeks profit; immorally acting man seeks plunder.” -Jay S. Snelson
