"No one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interest, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interest of everyone hangs on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us."
-Ludwig von Mises
In order to have political understanding one must first have an understanding of economics; of political philosophy, of the nature of government, of history, and the nature of man.
"I never knew a leader who wasn't a reader" - Charlie Munger.
