The Ingenious Slogan That The Public Debt

The Diversity Of Mankind Is A Basic Postulate Of Our Knowledge Of Human Beings. But If Mankind Is Diverse And Individuated, Then How Can Anyone Propose Equality As An Ideal? Every Year, Scholars Hold Conferences On Equality And Call For Greater Equality, And No One Challenges The Basic Tenet. But What Justification Can Equality Find In The Nature Of Man? If Each Individual Is Unique, How Else Can He Be Made 'equal' To Others Than By Destroying Most Of What Is Human In Him And Reducing Human Society To The Mindless Uniformity Of The Ant Heap?

In Every One Of These Cases, Government Either Has Totally Run Or Heavily Influenced The Activity.

One Of The Most Important Features Of Our Economic Resources Is Their Scarcity: Land, Labor, And Capital Goods Factors Are All Scarce, And May All Be Put To Various Possible Uses. The Free Market Uses Them 'productively' Because The Producers Are Guided, On The Market, To Produce What The Consumers Most Need: Automobiles, For Example, Rather Than Buggies.

Unlike The Days Of The Gold Standard, It Is Impossible For The Federal Reserve To Go Bankrupt; It Holds The Legal Monopoly Of Counterfeiting (of Creating Money Out Of Thin Air) In The Entire Country.

There Can Be No Truly Moral Choice Unless That Choice Is Made In Freedom; Similarly, There Can Be No Really Firmly Grounded And Consistent Defense Of Freedom Unless That Defense Is Rooted In Moral Principle. In Concentrating On The Ends Of Choice, The Conservative, By Neglecting The Conditions Of Choice, Loses That Very Morality Of Conduct With Which He Is So Concerned. And The Libertarian, By Concentrating Only On The Means, Or Conditions, Of Choice And Ignoring The Ends, Throws Away An Essential Moral Defense Of His Own Position.
