It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power, in number, in pride, in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.

The State thrives on war - unless, of course, it is defeated and crushed - expands on it, glories in it.

Subjectivism is not an absolute principle; it is a necessary but not sufficient condition for sound methodology.

The expansionary operations of the Second Bank of the United States, coupled with its laxity toward insisting on specie payment by the state banks, impelled a further inflationary expansion of state banks on top of the spectacular enlargement of the central bank. Thus, the number of incorporated state banks rose from 232 in 1816 to 338 in 1818.

All action is an attempt to exchange a less satisfactory state of affairs for a more satisfactory one.
