Henry Hazlitt Quotes on Economics, History, and More
Libertas Bella ^ | 12/10/2020 | Alex Horsman

“The future of human liberty…means the future of civilization.”

“Only if the modern state can be held within a strictly limited agenda…can it be prevented from regimenting, conquering, and ultimately devouring the society which gave it birth.”

“A man who is good from docility, and not from stern self-control, has no character.”

“Contrary to age-old prejudices, the wealth of the rich is not the cause of the poverty of the poor, but helps to alleviate that poverty.”

“Inflation itself is a form of taxation. It is perhaps the worst possible form, which usually bears hardest on those least able to pay.”

“The larger the percentage of the national income taken by taxes the greater the deterrent to private production and employment.”

“It is significant that while there is a word ‘profiteer’ to stigmatize those who make allegedly excessive profits, there is no such word as ‘wageer’ – or ‘losseer.’”
