Rothbard Quote

“My own basic perspective on the history of man … is to place central importance on the great conflict which is eternally waged between Liberty and Power …. I see the liberty of the individual not only as a great moral good in itself … but also as the necessary condition for the flowering of all the other goods that mankind cherishes: moral virtue, civilization, the arts and sciences, economic prosperity. But liberty has always been threatened by the encroachments of power, power which seeks to suppress, control, cripple, tax, and exploit the fruits of liberty and production. And power is almost always centered in and focused on that central repository of power and violence: the state.
... I see history as centrally a race and conflict betwen “social power” — the productive consequences of voluntary interactions among men — and state power. In those eras of history when liberty — social power — has managed to race ahead of state power and control, the country and even mankind have flourished. In those eras when state power has managed to catch up with or surpass social power, mankind suffers or declines.”

— Murray Rothbard (Conceived in Liberty, Volume Two (Arlington House, New Rochelle NY, 1975), pp. 9-10.)
