EU Commission Sugar Coating Red Taped SMEs With Taxpayers' Money

“It's not the lack of money from the EU that hampers SMEs, but the ridiculous amounts of red tape and burdensome regulations that come from this parliament.” . . . “We must ensure that harmful, costly, and bureaucratic legislation is repealed. If the Commission is serious about assisting SMEs for the future, it must prioritize addressing the foundations of the problem, rather than sugar coating the situation with taxpayers' money.”

EU komisija subvencionira preregulisana mala preduzeća novcem poreskih obveznika

“Nije nedostatak novca iz EU ono što šteti malim i srednjim preduzećima, već su to besmislene količine regulacija i opterećavajućih propisa koji dolaze iz ovog parlamenta.” . . . “Mi moramo osigurati da štetne, skupe, i birokratske legislacije budu ukinute. Ukoliko je Komisija ozbiljna u nakani da pomaže malim i srednjim preduzećima za budućnost, onda mora prioritizirati rješavanje uzroka problema, umjesto popravljanja situacije sa novcem poreskih obveznika.”

My philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership

My philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you do. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others. - Ken Schoolland

Moja filozofija je zasnovana na principu samo-vlasništva

Moja filozofija je zasnovana na principu samo-vlasništva. Vi ste vlasnik svog života. Poreći to znači implicirati da neka druga osoba ima veće pravo na vaš život nego vi sami. Nijedna druga osoba, ili grupa ljudi, ne posjeduje vaš život, niti vi posedujete živote drugih. - Ken Schoolland

Milton Friedman – The Way to Improve Schools

Professor Friedman's recipe for better schools. “What do we really need in schools? We need competition. What we have is a monopoly. And like every monopoly, it is producing a low quality product at a very high cost. The way to improve that is to have competition. To make it possible for parents to have the choice of the schools their children attend.”

Milton Friedman - Kako popraviti školstvo

Profesor Friedman objašnjava kako popraviti javno školstvo. “Šta nam je zaista potrebno u školama? Treba nam konkurencija. Ono što imamo je monopol. I kao i svaki drugi monopol, on proizvodi nizak kvalitet proizvoda po veoma visokim cijenama. Način da se to poboljša je da imamo konkurenciju. Da bi bilo moguće da roditelji imaju izbor u školama koje njihova djeca mogu da pohađaju.”

How to Connect and Sell Liberty - by Judd Weiss

"This is not about substance, this is about style," said Judd Weiss at the International Society for Individual Liberty World Conference on Market Liberalization in Bali. 
"Let's say you've got a car you want to sell," said Judd. "Imagine how it would impact the sale if at the same time, if you tried to explicitly convince your buyer that he's an idiot. Because that's what we do. That is the sales method of the liberty movement at the moment."
According to Judd Weiss, the liberty movement could learn a lesson from companies that separate their engineers from their marketeers.
"We're basically the engineers dominating the sales department."

The Hockey Stick of Human Prosperity

In this series, Professor Don Boudreaux explores the question economists have been asking since the era of Adam Smith: what creates wealth? On a timeline of human history, the recent rise in standards of living resembles a hockey stick, flat-lining for all of human history and then skyrocketing in just the last few centuries. Without specialization and trade, our ancient ancestors only consumed what they could make themselves. How can specialization and trade help explain the astonishing growth of productivity and output in such a short amount of time—after millennia of famine, low life expectancy, and incurable disease?
