"A free society can only be sustained if the general public is aware of the vital importance of the market and the terrible consequences of statism."
-- Quote from the preface by L. H. Rockwell, Jr.

"Man's condition on earth is that he must work with the given natural conditions and improve them by human action. It is a reflection on nature, not on the free market, that everyone is "free to starve."
Economics demonstrates that individuals, entering into mutual relations in a free market in a free society - and only in such relations - can provide abundance for themselves and for the entire society. [...]
The free market in the world of production may be termed "free competition" or "free entry," meaning that in a free society anyone is free to compete and produce in any field he chooses. "Free competition" is the application of liberty to the sphere of production: the freedom to buy, sell, and transform one's property without violent interference by an external power."
