Posted on September 30, 2020November 12, 2020 by studentofliberty

XVII. – UN CHEMIN DE FER NÉGATIF.

Posted on September 28, 2020 by studentofliberty

XVII. – A NEGATIVE RAILWAY.

Posted on September 28, 2020September 28, 2020 by studentofliberty

I have said that when, unfortunately, we took the point of view of the producers’ interest, we could not fail to clash with the general interest, since producers, as such, demand only effort, needs, and obstacles.

XV. – MORE RECIPROCITY.

Posted on September 24, 2020September 24, 2020 by studentofliberty

Is it not ludicrous that you are already inflicting this regime on the nation for fear that it will run the risk of reaching it one day without you?

XI. – PRIX ABSOLUS.

Posted on September 18, 2020 by studentofliberty

Or, qu’est-ce que cela prouve? Rien autre chose si ce n’est que la protection déplace inutilement et injustement la richesse. Autant en fait la spoliation.

Read More

XI. – NOMINAL PRICES.

Posted on September 18, 2020October 20, 2020 by studentofliberty

Well, what does that prove? Nothing other than that protection moves wealth about uselessly and unjustly. This is just what plunder does.

Read More
