"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Inflation, the Negative Rate of Profit, and the Fascist State (Part Four)
"On the surface, a commodity is exchanged for money, and this transaction is the exchange of two absolutely unlike objects: the money serves no purpose but means of exchange, while the commodity with which it is exchanged is eventually consumed; the money never leaves circulation, while the commodity disappears; the money can always find a new owner, while the commodity only finds an new owner where it is needed. They are as different as night and day."
