like Mises, but he is not perfect... for example, I disagree with the following (it may work that way in theory, but with greed, slavery, and total manipulation through deceit (etc.), we definitely don't have what the following suggests). Nor is having things the main goals in my life, personally. "...The result is a tendency towards a continuous improvement in the average standard of living, aprogressing enrichment of the many. Capitalism deproletarianizes the “common man” [there should be no category of 'common man', for one] and elevates him to the rank of a “bourgeois.” On the market of a capitalistic society the common man is the sovereign consumer whose buying or abstention from buying ultimately determines what should be produced and in what quantity and quality. Those shops and plants which cater exclusively or predominantly to the wealthier citizens’ demand for refined luxuries play merely a subordinate role in the economic setting of the market economy. They never attain the size of big business. Big business always serves—directly orindirectly—the masses." [Yeah, right...depending on who owns the stock].
