Obama is already setting a new historic course by reorienting the economy from private consumption to public investments ... free-market pundits bemoan the evident intention of Obama and team to 'tell us what kind of car to drive'. Yet that is exactly what they intend to do ... and rightly so. Free-market ideology is an anachronism in an era of climate change. ~ Jeffrey Sachs
Free Market Ideology quotes by Jeffrey Sachs
This points to a nagging and important question about free-market ideologues: Are they 'true believers', driven by ideology and faith that free markets will cure underdevelopment, as is often asserted, or do the ideas and theories frequently serve as an elaborate rationale to allow people to act on unfettered greed while still invoking an altruistic motive? ~ Naomi Klein
Free Market Ideology quotes by Naomi Klein
Funny, I don't particularly care for either "laws" or "order". Liberty is messy. Freedom yields imperfect results. ~ A.E. Samaan
Free Market Ideology quotes by A.E. Samaan
Faith and freedom is great, but it gets nowhere without faith in freedom. ~ A.E. Samaan
Free Market Ideology quotes by A.E. Samaan
A time of ongoing cultural revolution when the adversaries of Christianity have made plain their intent to use the state machinery to promote radical social ideologies hardly seems an opportune moment to discuss how the rights of property might be compromised. Private property is an important bulwark against the ongoing anti-Christian campaign. Although opponents of the free market will doubtless claim that they wish to interfere with the rights of property only to this or that extent, or only to bring about this or that allegedly desirable social outcome, there can be little excuse for such naiveté in our day. No Christian should want to build up an institution that he would be terrified to see in the hands of his ideological opponents. ~ Thomas E. Woods Jr.
Free Market Ideology quotes by Thomas E. Woods Jr.
Capitalism is not a form of government. Capitalism is a symptom of freedom. It is the result of individual rights, which include property rights. ~ A.E. Samaan
Free Market Ideology quotes by A.E. Samaan
Under the rule of the "free market" ideology, we have gone through two decades of an energy crisis without an effective energy policy. Because of an easy and thoughtless reliance on imported oil, we have no adequate policy for the conservation of gasoline and other petroleum products. We have no adequate policy for the development or use of other, less harmful forms of energy. We have no adequate system of public transportation. ~ Wendell Berry
Free Market Ideology quotes by Wendell Berry
Arguing that the only problem with a free market is lack of competition, is like arguing that that the only problem with prostitution is that there aren't enough pimps. ~ Quentin R. Bufogle
Free Market Ideology quotes by Quentin R. Bufogle
, I believe in some type of free market system. I just don't think you'll find an example of one completely free from government intervention. ~ Kenneth Eade
Free Market Ideology quotes by Kenneth Eade
It's really interesting that we've had this great Tea Party movement that is all about restoring free market capitalist values, but what they completely fail to understand is that what we've got now is a situation where there is a small class of gigantic financial companies that have put themselves above capitalism. ~ Matt Taibbi
Free Market Ideology quotes by Matt Taibbi
I've read quite a few readers' reviews of my book on Amazon, saying, 'Ah, he criticises the free market, he advocates central planning.' I don't do that for a minute! But this is our black and white, dichotomous way of thinking - which has really been harmful. ~ Ha-Joon Chang
Free Market Ideology quotes by Ha-Joon Chang
Tachyon OPC+ is a natural extension of our market-winning Tachyon platform, giving customers a clear path to minimizing the OPC error budget and producing better-performing circuits sooner and faster. Until now, customers have had to deal with a delicate balance of compromises when producing advanced OPC-enabled circuits, including trading accuracy for speed. Tachyon OPC+ breaks free from these compromises. ~ Bill Vaughan
Free Market Ideology quotes by Bill Vaughan
Nothing is more unpopular today than the free market economy, i.e., capitalism. Everything that is considered unsatisfactory in present-day conditions is charged to capitalism. The atheists make capitalism responsible for the survival of Christianity. But the papal encyclicals blame capitalism for the spread of irreligion and the sins of our contemporaries, and the Protestant churches and sects are no less vigorous in their indictment of capitalist greed. Friends of peace consider our wars as an offshoot of capitalist imperialism. But the adamant nationalist warmongers of Germany and Italy indicted capitalism for its "bourgeois" pacifism, contrary to human nature and to the inescapable laws of history. Sermonizers accuse capitalism of disrupting the family and fostering licentiousness. But the "progressives" blame capitalism for the preservation of allegedly outdated rules of sexual restraint. Almost all men agree that poverty is an outcome of capitalism. On the other hand many deplore the fact that capitalism, in catering lavishly to the wishes of people intent upon getting more amenities and a better living, promotes a crass materialism. These contradictory accusations of capitalism cancel one another. But the fact remains that there are few people left who would not condemn capitalism altogether. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Free Market Ideology quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
No man can rightfully be required to join, or support, an association whose protection he does not desire. ~ Lysander Spooner
Free Market Ideology quotes by Lysander Spooner
Forcing free market plans to compete with these government-run programs would create an unlevel playing field and inevitably doom true competition ... ~ Mitch McConnell
Free Market Ideology quotes by Mitch McConnell
It's a funny thing about Americans, we love to bitch about paying too much for the things we really need and are really a bargain, like gas and postage stamps, but we willingly shell out outrageous amounts for unnecessary crap like gourmet coffee and soap to make your crotch smell good. Two dollars a gallon to go ten miles is too much, but five to the parking valet to go ten feet is okay. ~ Bill Maher
Free Market Ideology quotes by Bill Maher
The free market is notorious for distributing resources in a highly unequal manner, with great concentrations of wealth at the top and poverty at the bottom. Our social programs, modest compared to those of many other Western countries, play an important role in redistributing some of those resources from the haves to the have-nots. ~ Linda McQuaig
Free Market Ideology quotes by Linda McQuaig
Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them. ~ David Suzuki
Free Market Ideology quotes by David Suzuki
From computers to information technology to airplanes, it has been America's unique blend of republican government and free-market capitalism that has allowed us to surpass all other nations in history. ~ George Nethercutt
Free Market Ideology quotes by George Nethercutt
If you can't afford the good food or if you can't afford health care or if you don't have a job or if your car is dangerous because you can't get it fixed and you DIE, you just lost the game-bzzzzz-thanks for playing extreme capitalism. ~ Marc Maron
Free Market Ideology quotes by Marc Maron
A vital function of the free market is to penalize inefficiency and misjudgment and to reward efficiency and good judgment. By distorting economic calculations and creating illusory profits, inflation will destroy this function. ~ Henry Hazlitt
Free Market Ideology quotes by Henry Hazlitt
I believe that free-market principles will solve our healthcare problems. ~ Rick Scott
Free Market Ideology quotes by Rick Scott
The Conservative sees in the free market the harmony of interests and rules of cooperation that also underlie the civil society. ~ Mark Levin
Free Market Ideology quotes by Mark Levin
Inflation, being a fraudulent invasion of property, could not take place on the free market. ~ Murray Rothbard
Free Market Ideology quotes by Murray Rothbard
It would appear that, on the level of individual nations and of international relations, the free market is the most efficient instrument for utilizing resources and effectively responding to needs. ~ Pope John Paul II
Free Market Ideology quotes by Pope John Paul II
Size of industry, concentration of market, or production notwithstanding, the consumer is best served when the businessman is completely free to pursue his profit goals. ~ John Pugsley
Free Market Ideology quotes by John Pugsley
There are some things in the world we can't change- gravity, entropy, the speed of light, and our biological nature that requires clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and biodiversity for our health and well-being. Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die. Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them. It makes no sense to elevate economics above the biosphere. ~ David Suzuki
Free Market Ideology quotes by David Suzuki
The great achievements of western capitalism have rebounded primarily to the benefit of the ordinary person. These achievements have made available to the masses conveniences and amenities that were previously the exclusive prerogative of the rich and powerful. ~ Milton Friedman
Free Market Ideology quotes by Milton Friedman
In the whole history of capitalism, no one has been able to establish a coercive monopoly by means of competition in a free market ... Every single coercive monopoly that exists or ever has existed ... was created and made possible only by an act of government ... which granted special privileges (not obtainable in a free market) to a man or a group of men, and forbade all others to enter that particular field. ~ Nathaniel Branden
Free Market Ideology quotes by Nathaniel Branden
He who is unfit to serve his fellow citizens wants to rule them. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Free Market Ideology quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
If those with pre-existing conditions can be covered separately and removed from the broader insurance market, it would make it easier to create a functioning free market for everybody else. ~ Philip Klein
Free Market Ideology quotes by Philip Klein
The earliest use of writing was strictly commercial and economic, not political or bureaucratic. It was trade, entrepreneurship, and stewardship of private property, not politics, "public education" or the creation of national mythology that allowed humankind to transition from prehistory to history. Just as trade, entrepreneurship, and stewardship of private property have always been on the forefront of civilization's advancement, so were they also the driving force behind civilization's emergence. ~ Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski
Free Market Ideology quotes by Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski
Let me say this before rain becomes a utility that they can plan and distribute for money. By "they" I mean the people who cannot understand that rain is a festival, who do not appreciate its gratuity, who think that what has no price has no value, that what cannot be sold is not real, so that the only way to make something actual is to place it on the market. The time will come when they will sell you even your rain. At the moment it is still free, and I am in it. I celebrate its gratuity and its meaninglessness. ~ Thomas Merton
Free Market Ideology quotes by Thomas Merton
Nearly all of these successful folks have made it in the business world by sticking with the free market ideal of survival of the fittest over everything else. They believe in giving no quarter, and consequently they are antiunion, pro-death penalty, and pro-war- that is, until they actually feel the war's cost in their own wallets and a big voice coming out of the sky says: You could grab more money if we did not have this war to pay for! This is America, where greed is christened "drive" and is deemed a virtue. ~ Joe Bageant
Free Market Ideology quotes by Joe Bageant
The Netherlands and the UK are both seafaring nations and so our ability to create jobs and to generate future growth is built on the free market. ~ Mark Rutte
Free Market Ideology quotes by Mark Rutte
There are those who believe a liberal or a conservative bias permeates the media. I don't. The operative press bias is one that favors conflict, not ideology, and it is lashed by a market-driven bias to boost ratings or circulation with more wow stories, more sizzle. ~ Ken Auletta
Free Market Ideology quotes by Ken Auletta
It seems obvious to me now – though I have been slow, I must say, in coming to the conclusion – that the institution of private property is one of the main things that have given man that limited amount of free-and-equalness that Marx hoped to render infinite by abolishing this institution. Strangely enough Marx was the first to see this. He is the one who informed us, looking backwards, that the evolution of private capitalism with its free market had been a precondition for the evolution of all our democratic freedoms. It never occurred to him, looking forward, that if this was so, these other freedoms might disappear with the abolition of the free market. ~ Max Eastman
Free Market Ideology quotes by Max Eastman
The argument for the free market is a complicated and sophisticated one and depends on demonstration of secondary effects. I have confidence market efficiency will win out. ~ Milton Friedman
Free Market Ideology quotes by Milton Friedman
Any time people create a "black market" to avoid government regulation, they are engaged in, and promoting, free market economics. ~ Dave Champion
Free Market Ideology quotes by Dave Champion
The market steers the capitalistic economy. It directs each individual's activities into those channels in which he best serves the wants of his fellow-men. The market alone puts the whole social system of private ownership of the means of production and free enterprise in order and provides it with sense and meaning. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Free Market Ideology quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
There is no pure free-market economy. ~ Jeane Kirkpatrick
Free Market Ideology quotes by Jeane Kirkpatrick
Few ideas have more profoundly poisoned the minds of more people than the notion of a "free market" existing somewhere in the universe, into which government "intrudes. ~ Robert B. Reich
Free Market Ideology quotes by Robert B. Reich
If business is going to continue to sell through the decades, it must also promote an understanding of what made those products possible, what is necessary to a free market, and what our free market means to the individual liberty of each of us, to be certain that the freedoms under which this nation was born and brought to this point shall endure in the future ... for America is the product of our freedoms. ~ Edward Francis Hutton
Free Market Ideology quotes by Edward Francis Hutton
An older generation of free market economists used to point out that what is wrong with socialist planning is that it requires the sort of perfect knowledge (of present and future alike) that is never vouchsafed to ordinary mortals. They were right. But it transpires that the same is true for market theorists: ~ Tony Judt
Free Market Ideology quotes by Tony Judt
Every nation on the Earth that embraces market economics and the free enterprise system is pulling millions of its people out of poverty. The free enterprise system creates prosperity, not denies it. ~ Marco Rubio
Free Market Ideology quotes by Marco Rubio
Voluntary association produces the free market - where each person can choose among a multitude of possibilities. ~ Harry Browne
Free Market Ideology quotes by Harry Browne
In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes increasingly difficult to learn the truth about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.
In such a society, also, our private economies will depend less and less upon the private ownership of real, usable property, and more and more upon property that is institutional and abstract, beyond individual control, such as money, insurance policies, certificates of deposit, stocks, and shares. And as our private economies become more abstract, the mutual, free helps and pleasures of family and community life will be supplanted by a kind of displaced or placeless citizenship and by commerce with impersonal and self-interested suppliers...
Thus, although we are not slaves in name, and cannot be carried to market and sold as somebody else's legal chattels, we are free only within narrow limits. For all our talk about liberation and personal autonomy, there are few choices that we are free to make. What would be the point, for example, if a majority of our people decided to be self-employed?
The great enemy of freedom is the alignment of political power with wealth. This alignment destroys the commonwealth - that is, the natural wealth of localities and the local economies of household, neighborhood, and community - and so destroys democracy, of which the commonwe ~ Wendell Berry
Free Market Ideology quotes by Wendell Berry
These days, however, the main problem comes from the right - from conservatives who, unlike most economists, really do think that the free market is always right-to such an extent that they refuse to believe even the most overwhelming scientific evidence if it seems to suggest a justification for government action. ~ Paul Krugman
Free Market Ideology quotes by Paul Krugman
Everyone has some natural talent or aptitude in one or more areas. If you can identify those areas you not only will be happier and perform more successfully in that role, but you will also become better paid for that. Our free-market system pays for performance at some point. When you have a natural talent or aptitude, coupled with desire and experience, the result is productivity plus. ~ Dave Ramsey
Free Market Ideology quotes by Dave Ramsey
There are different ways to organise capitalism. Free-market capitalism is only one of them-and not a very good one at that. ~ Ha-Joon Chang
