1028: Henry Hazlitt – How to Increase Wages

Real wages come out of production, not out of government decrees. The best way to raise wages, therefore, is to raise marginal labor productivity. 

The more the individual worker produces, the more he increases the wealth of the whole community. The more he produces, the more his services are worth to consumers, and hence to employers. And the more he is worth to employers, the more he will be paid. —Henry HazlittDownload Print Quality (6060×7680) 420KB  |  Normal Quality (3030×3840) 368KB

1027: Henry Hazlitt – Government Creates Artificial Demand

Inflation distorts the structure of production. It leads to the overexpansion of some industries at the expense of others. This involves a misapplication and waste of capital. 

Yet the ardor for inflation never dies. It would almost seem as if no country is capable of profiting from the experience of another and no generation of learning from the sufferings of its forebears. 

For it is the nature of inflation to give birth to a thousand illusions. —Henry HazlittDownload Print Quality (5924×7680) 361KB  |  Normal Quality (2962×3840) 329KB

1007: Jordan Peterson – What Marx Observed

What Marx observed was that capital tended to accumulate in the hands of fewer and fewer people. And he said that’s a flaw of the Capitalist system.
