OT......Ludwig von Mises on bureaucracy.

"The worst law is better than bureaucratic tyranny."

"Nobody can be at the same time a correct bureaucrat and an innovator."

"Seen from the point of view of the particular group interests of the bureaucrats, every measure that makes the governments payroll swell is progress."

"If you have to convince a group of people who are not directly dependent on a solution of a problem, you will never succeed."

"The bureaucrat is not free to aim at improvement. He is bound to obey rules and regulations established by a superior body. He has no right to embark upon innovations if his superiors do not approve of them. His duty and his virtue is to be obedient."

"A bureaucrat differs from a nonbureaucrat precisely because he is working in a field in which it is impossible to appraise the result of a mans effort in terms of money."

"Only to bureaucrats can the idea occur that establishing new offices, promulgating new decrees, and increasing the number of government employees alone can be described as positive and beneficial measures."

"The trend toward bureaucratic rigidity is not inherent in the evolution of business. It is an outcome of government meddling with business."

"No private enterprise will ever fall prey to bureaucratic methods of management if it is operated with the sole aim of making profit."

Ludwig von Mises
