Wisdom From Great Minds. Jeff Deist & Keith Knight

by | May 10, 2021

To make their rule permanent, the State rulers need to induce their subject masses to acquiesce in at least the legitimacy of their rule. For this purpose the State has always taken a corps of intellectuals to spin apologia for the wisdom and the necessity of the existing system.

 

Murray N. Rothbard
Economic Controversies, p. 656

***Correction*** Jeff Deist meant to say Walter Block is a deontologist, not utilitarian.

Jeff Deist is president of the Mises Institute, where he serves as a writer, public speaker, and advocate for property, markets, and civil society. He previously worked as a longtime advisor and chief of staff to Congressman Ron Paul, for whom he wrote hundreds of articles and speeches. In his years with Dr. Paul he worked with countless grassroots activists and organizations dedicated to reducing the size and scope of government.
