The State is the Health of War, and War is the Health of the State. Chris Coyne & Keith Knight

by | Aug 29, 2021

Lacking the direct test of success or failure, the voter tends to turn, not to those politicians whose policies have the best chance of success, but to those who can best “sell” their propaganda ability. Without grasping logical chains of deduction, the average voter will never be able to discover the errors that his ruler makes.

Murray N. Rothbard
Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market, p. 887

Christopher Coyne is a Professor of Economics at George Mason University and the Associate Director of the F. A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at the Mercatus Center.
