  • Achievement must be made against the possibility of failure, against the risk of defeat. It is no achievement to walk a tightrope laid flat on the floor. Where there is no risk, there can be no pride in achievement and, consequently, no happiness.

This is the only way in the world to economic freedom. There is no other way.

    Ray Kroc (2016). “Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's”, p.161, St. Martin's Griffin

Far from the depression being a failure of the free-enterprise system, it was a tragic failure of government.

  • The market steers the capitalistic economy. It directs each individual's activities into those channels in which he best serves the wants of his fellow-men. The market alone puts the whole social system of private ownership of the means of production and free enterprise in order and provides it with sense and meaning.

    Mean   Men   Order
