"Action is an attempt to substitute a more satisfactory state of affairs for a less satisfactory one. We call such a wilIfully induced alteration an exchange. A less desirable condition is bartered for a more desirable. What gratifies less is abandoned in order to attain something that pleases more. That which is abandoned is called the price paid for the attainment of the end sought. The value of the price paid is calIed costs. Costs are equal to the value attached to the satisfaction which one must forego in order to attain the end aimed at.
The difference between the value of the price paid (the costs incurred) and that of the goal attained is called gain or profit or net yield. Profit in this primary sense is purely subjective, it is an increase in the acting man's happiness, it is a psychical phenomenon that can be neither measured nor weighed." - Ludwig von Mises, ***Human Action*** (1998) p. 97. Ludwig von Mises Institute.

"To allay these suspicions and to harness to its cart the strongest of all political motives — the craving for freedom — socialists began increasingly to make use of the promise of a 'new freedom.' Socialism was to bring 'economic freedom' without which political freedom was 'not worth having.'
To make this argument sound plausible, the word 'freedom' was subjected to a subtle change in meaning. The word had formerly meant freedom from coercion, from the arbitrary power of other men. Now it was made to mean freedom from necessity..." - Friedrich Hayek, ***The Road to Serfdom*** (2005) p. 47-48. The Institute of Economic Affairs.

"Exploitation characterized the relationship between slave and slave master and serf and feudal lord. But no exploitation was found possible under a clean capitalism. What is the principle difference between these two cases? The answer is: the recognition or non-recognition of the homesteading principle. The peasant under feudalism is exploited because he does not have exclusive control over land that he homesteaded, and the slave because he has no exclusive control over his own homesteaded body. If, on the other hand, everyone has exclusive control over his own body (is a free laborer, that is) and acts in accordance with the homesteading principle, there can be no exploitation. It is logically absurd to claim that a person who homesteads goods not previously homesteaded by anybody else, or who employs such goods in the production of future goods, or who saves presently homesteaded or produced goods in order to increase the future supply of goods, could thereby exploit anybody. Nothing has been taken away from anybody in this process, and additional goods have actually been created...Instead, exploitation takes place whenever any deviation from the homesteading principle occurs." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe, “Marxist and Austrian Class Analysis.” *Journal of Libertarian Studies* 9, No. 2 (1990): 79–93.

"Without the capitalist's expectation of an interest return, the laborer would be worse off because he would have to wait longer than he wishes to wait; and without the laborer's preference for present goods the capitalist would be worse off because he would have to resort to less roundabout and less efficient production methods than those he desires to adopt. Nor can the capitalist wage system be regarded as an impediment to the further development of the forces of production, as Marx claims. If the laborer were not permitted to sell his labor services and the capitalist to buy them, output would not be higher but lower because production would have to take place with relatively reduced levels of capital accumulation." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe, “Marxist and Austrian Class Analysis.” *Journal of Libertarian Studies* 9, No. 2 (1990): 79–93.

"Since the State necessarily lives by the compulsory confiscation of private capital, and since its expansion necessarily involves ever-greater incursions on private individuals and private enterprise, we must assert that the State is profoundly and inherently *anti*capitalist. In a sense, our position is the reverse of the Marxist dictum that the State is the 'executive committee' of the ruling class in the present day, supposedly the capitalists. Instead, the State—the organization of the political means—constitutes, and is the source of, the 'ruling class' (rather, ruling caste), and is in permanent opposition to genuinely private capital." - Murray Rothbard, ***Anatomy of The State*** (2009) p. 42. Ludwig von Mises Institute.

"Since production must always precede predation, the free market is anterior to the State. The State has never been created by a 'social contract'; it has always been born in conquest and exploitation." - Murray Rothbard, ***Anatomy of The State*** (2009) p. 16. Ludwig von Mises Institute.
