1160: Friedrich Hayek – Democratic Socialism Produces Something Different

W1160: Friedrich Hayek - Democratic Socialism Produces Something Different
Democratic Socialism, the great utopia of the last few generations, is not only unachievable, but that to strive for it produces something that many will not believe until the connection has been laid bare in all its aspects. —F.A. Hayek

1082: Ludwig von Mises – Why Some are Unhappy Under Capitalism

F1082: Ludwig von Mises - Unhappy Under Capitalism
What makes many feel unhappy under capitalism is the fact that capitalism grants to each the opportunity to attain the most desirable positions which, of course, can only be attained by a few. In order to console himself and to restore his self-assertion, such a man is in search of a scapegoat. He tries to persuade himself that he failed through no fault of his own. They sublimate their hatred into a philosophy, the philosophy of anti-capitalism, in order to render inaudible the inner voice that tells them that their failure is entirely their own fault. The suffering from frustrated ambition is peculiar to people living in a society of equality under the law. It is not caused by equality under the law, but by the fact that in a society of equality under the law the inequality of men with regard to intellectual abilities, will power and application becomes visible. The gulf between what a man is and achieves and what he thinks of his own abilities and achievements is pitilessly revealed. —Ludwig von Mises
