Classical Liberalism and Capitalism... Quote by Ludwig von Mises

"[Classical] Liberalism and capitalism address themselves to the cool, well-balanced mind. They proceed by strict logic, eliminating any appeal to the emotions. Socialism, on the contrary, works on the emotions, tries to violate logical considerations by rousing a sense of personal interest and to stifle the voice of reason by awakening primitive instincts."

Ludwig von Mises (economist, 1881-1973)

This poet have attempted however feebly in my 10th and now 11th books to explain Classical Liberalism (as defined in Mises' book likewise entitled) and Capitalism as logical expressions then extensions of Individualism if to understand the latter as the regard for the person's Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, as manifested per the respect for the person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason.
