slap ink on it?

06/08/2006 Mises Wire Jeffrey A. Tucker

Good for Steve Chapman for quoting Mises: “Government is the only agency which can take a useful commodity like paper, slap some ink on it, and make it totally worthless.” The only problem is that no one can seem to verify that Mises actually said this.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
