Le mythe de l'armée volontaire - Jeffrey A. Tucker - Mises Daily

The Myth of the Voluntary Military - Jeffrey A. Tucker - Mises Daily: "Government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action.… Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom."

Volontariat vs travail rémunéré

Nelson Mandela and Volunteerism - Robert P. Murphy - Mises Daily: "It's typical to say that people in Congress are in the business of 'public service,' but that's ridiculous. The politicians in DC take my money against my will, and spend it on things that I don't want and often consider downright criminal. That's not serving me at all."

L'épargne: la clé de voûte du progrès économique et technologique

The Central Role of Saving and Capital Goods - Ludwig von Mises - Mises Daily

George Orwell sur la guerre

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.

-George Orwell
