Liberty

''The distinction between an economic sphere of human life
and activity and a noneconomic sphere is the worst of their fallacies.
If an omnipotent authority has the power to assign to
every individual the tasks he has to perform, nothing that can
be called freedom and autonomy is left to him. He has only the
choice between strict obedience and death by starvation.''

by Ludwig von Mises
Theory and History, pp. 376–77
