Por que o liberalismo não vence

"The realization of the [classical] liberal plan is impossible because -- at least for our time -- people lack the mental ability to absorb the principles of sound economics. Most men are too dull to follow complicated chains of reasoning. Liberalism failed because the intellectual capacities of the immense majority were insufficient for the task of comprehension."

-- Ludwig von Mises, Omnipotent Government (1944), p. 282.
