Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy QUOTES

1 " Theocracy is the destruction of human freedom in the name of God. Libertinism is the destruction of moral norms in the name of liberty. Neither will do. "

Think of ancient Greece; or the Roman Empire; or Germany in the 1930s. There are many other examples. "

― Robert Sirico , Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy

3 " What threatens to bring freedom to an end is that we have forgotten the end of freedom, in the other sense—its aim or purpose. "
