The choices a man makes are determined by the ideas that he adopts....
The genuine history of mankind is the history of ideas. It is ideas
that distinguish man from all other beings. Ideas engender social
institutions, political changes, technological methods of production,
and all that is called economic conditions.... Ideas determine what
are to be considered more and less satisfactory conditions and what
means are to be resorted to alter them. -- Ludwig von Mises
