| Ludwig von Mises | There is, in fact, only one solution: the
state, the government, the laws must not in any way concern themselves
with schooling or education. Public funds must not be used for such
purposes. The rearing and instruction of youth must be left entirely to
parents and to private associations and institutions. | Liberalism | p. 115 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | European totalitarianism is an upshot of
bureaucracys preeminence in the field of education. The universities
paved the way for the dictators. | Bureaucracy | p. 87 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | The pseudo-liberals monopolize the teaching
jobs at many universities. Only men who agree with them are appointed
as teachers and instructors of the social sciences, and only textbooks
supporting their ideas are used. | Planning for Freedom | p. 162 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | Tax-supported universities are under the
sway of the party in power. The authorities try to appoint only
professors who are ready to advance ideas of which they themselves
approve. | Human Action | p. 868; p. 872 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | The majority of the students espouse without any inhibitions the interventionist panaceas recommended by their professors. | Human Action | p. 871; p. 875 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | What is wrong with the discipline that is
nowadays taught in most universities under the misleading label of
economics is not that the teachers and the authors of the textbooks are
either not businessmen or failed in their business enterprises. The
fault is with their ignorance of economics and with their inability to
think logically. | The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science | p. 78 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | Continued adherence to a policy of compulsory education is utterly incompatible with efforts to establish lasting peace. | Liberalism | p. 114 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | Western Europe developed the system of
obligatory public education. It came to Eastern Europe as an achievement
of Western civilization. But in the linguistically mixed territories it
turned into a dreadful weapon in the hands of governments. | Omnipotent Government | pp. 82-83 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | The modern American high school, reformed
according to the principles of John Dewey, has failed lamentably, as all
competent experts agree, in the teaching of mathematics, physics,
languages, and history. | Economic Freedom and Interventionism | p. 171 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | Innovators and creative geniuses cannot be
reared in schools. They are precisely the men who defy what the school
has taught them. | Human Action | p. 311 p. 314 | Education |
| Ludwig von Mises | Education rears disciples, imitators, and
routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. . . . The
mark of the creative mind is that it defies a part of what it has
learned or, at least, adds something new to it. | Bureaucracy | p. 71 | Education |
