Who Said It?

Today's mystery quote:

The peoples who have developed the system of market economy and cling to it are in every respect superior to all other peoples. The fact that they are eager to preserve peace is not a mark of their weakness and inability to wage war.

    Nietzsche?

    If it's HHH, it'll be such a let-down.

    Mises? He was my first hunch, before you gave the clue that he spoke German.

    I'm guessing Gene Callahan wrote it. I heard him speak German once.

    I just emailed Lew Rockwell, because I know he reads all Gene's stuff, to see if he can recall the exact book of Gene's where those eloquent Gene-like words were written.

  10. I'm really sorry if you guys are all just being deadpan, but the answer was Mises. I thought it was obvious, but then again not everybody is writing the study guide to Human Action.

    (And I wasn't trying to be misleading, when I truthfully said Mises spoke German.)
