Stones to Bread

Because they believe in the messianic state, which they believe can turn stones into bread.
Wait a minute. It wasn't the Messiah who turned stones into bread. It was the devil who recommended this (Matthew 4).

Gary North on Mises' Contribution

The State's coercive interference in either money or banking, including its licensing of a monopolistic central bank, reduces all men's freedom and most men's wealth.

Gary North on Ludwig von Mises' "most important and unique contribution" (2002, Mises on Money)

Money and Things

The man in the street does not need more money. He needs more of the things money can buy. This means that he needs greater output. He says, "I need more money," but he means, "I need greater output with which to buy scarce consumer goods." The economists say, "The economy needs more money," because they believe that people's output can increase only when there is an increase in the money supply. The state or the state-sanctioned banking system must supply this extra money.
