Economics and Liberty
(from pages of Libertarian.org)

economy is a "spontaneous order," the product of human interaction, but not of human design. (F.A. Hayek)

Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness are self-evident.

Man's life, as required by his nature, is not the life of a mindless brute, of a looting thug or a mooching mystic, but the life of a thinking being -- not life by means of force or fraud, but life by means of achievement (Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged)

... just studying economics seems to make a person more libertarian, if not completely so

Ever since Adam Smith, most economists have believed that when people cooperate voluntarily they are more prosperous and peaceful than when they are subject to government controls

Peace, commerce, and honest friendship, with all nations -- entangling alliances with none (Thomas Jefferson)

That government is best which governs least (Thomas Jefferson)
