“… there are two and only two ways of attaining wealth in society: (a) by production and voluntary exchange with others — the method of the free market; and (b) by violent expropriation of the wealth produced by others. The latter is the method of violence and theft. The former benefits all parties involved; the latter parasitically benefits the looting group or class at the expense of the looted.”
Murray N. Rothbard
Ethics of Liberty, pp. 166–67
