Government Control Of The Economy, No Matter

Ayn Rand

Government control of the economy, no matter in whose behalf, has been the source of all the evils in our industrial society -- and the solution is laissez-faire capitalism, i.e., the abolition of any and all forms of intervention in production and trade, the separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of church and state.

Government Evil Church

More From Ayn Rand

I am opposed to all forms of control; i am for an absolute laissez faire, free, unregulated economy. i am for the separation of the state and economics, just as we had separation of state and church, which led to peaceful coexistence among different religions...so the same applies to economics. if you separate the government from economics, if you do not regulate production and trade, you will have peaceful cooperation, and harmony and justice among men.

Capitalism is the only system that can make freedom, individuality, and the pursuit of values possible in practice. when i say 'capitalism,' i mean a pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism - with a separation of economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as a separation of state and church.

If you go back to adam smith, you find the idea that markets and market forces operate as an invisible hand. this is the traditional laissez-faire market idea. but today, when economics is increasingly defined as the science of incentive, it becomes clear that the use of incentives involves quite active intervention, either by an economist or a policy maker, in using financial inducements to motivate behavior. in fact, so much though that we now almost take for granted that incentives are central to the subject of economics.

Although i have made a fortune in the financial markets, i now fear that the untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market values into all areas of life is endangering our open and democratic society. the main enemy of the open society, i believe, is no longer the communist but the capitalist threat.

First i might say that when a person, when a man separates from his wife, at the out start it's a physical separation but it's not a psychological separation. he still thinks of her in, in probably warm terms. and, but after the physical separation has taken, existed for a period of time, it becomes a psychological separation as well as physical. and he can then look at her more objectively. my split or separation from the black muslim movement at first was only a physical separation, but my heart was still there and it was impossible for me to, for me to look at it objectively.

I am opposed to all forms of control. i am for an absolute, laissez-faire, free, unregulated economy.

Laissez-faire is finished. the all-powerful market that always knows best is finished.

The romanticists predominantly, were enemies of capitalism, which they regarded as a prosaic, materialistic, “petty bourgeois” system — never realizing that it was the only system that could make freedom, individuality and the pursuit of values possible in practice.

Laissez-faire capitalism is the only social system based on the recognition of individual rights and, therefore, the only system that bans force from social relationships.

If one rejects laissez faire on account of mans fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reason also reject every kind of government action.
