“We cannot eradicate the past from our memories. But it is not the task of history to kindle new conflicts by reviving hatreds long since dead and by searching the archives for pretexts for new conflicts. We do not have to revenge crimes committed centuries ago by kings and conquerors; we have to build a new and better world order [i.e., the liberal market economy rooted in private property].”
–Ludwig von Mises, Omnipotent Government, 1944
