Murray Rothbard on protectionism

In the host of special interests using the political process to repress and loot the rest of us, the protectionists are among the most venerable. It is high time that we get them, once and for all, off our backs, and treat them with the righteous indignation they so richly deserve.

~ Murray Rothbard, Making Economic Sense (1995), "Smashing Economic 'Theory' (Again)"
