  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: State and Church
The State is a natural institution, whose powers, therefore, come from the natural law and are determined by the character of the natural purpose of the State plus whatever limitation God has, because of qualifications in the last end of man, ordained in the Divine Positive Law.
The goal of the State is the temporal happiness of man, and its proximate purpose the preservation of external juridical order and the provision of a reasonable abundance of means of human development in the interests of its citizens and their posterity.
The State must also protect the Church in the exercise of her functions, for the reason that the State is bound to protect all the rights of its citizens, and among these their religious rights, which as a matter of fact would be insecure and fruitless were not the Church protected.

 The Anatomy of the State - Professor Murray N Rothbard
Briefly, the State is that organisation in society which attempts to maintain a monopoly of the use of force and violence in a given territorial area; in particular, it is the only organisation in society that obtains its revenue not by voluntary contribution or payment for services rendered, but by coercion.
Put simply, we may state that the intellectual’s livelihood in the free market is never too secure; for the intellectual must depend on the values and choices of the masses of his fellow-men, and it is precisely characteristic of the masses that they are generally uninterested in intellectual matters.
Since the State necessarily lives by the compulsory confiscation of private capital, and since its expansion necessarily involves ever-greater incursions on private individuals and private enterprise, we must assert that the State is profoundly and inherently anti-capitalist.

 Outline of the U.S. Economy
Rapidly growing economies in Asia appeared to be challenging America as economic powerhouses; Japan, in particular, with its emphasis on long-term planning and close coordination among corporations, banks, and government, seemed to offer an alternative model for economic growth.
In the United States, meanwhile, "corporate raiders" bought various corporations whose stock prices were depressed and then restructured them, either by selling off some of their operations or by dismantling them piece by piece.
Japan's economy, often considered a model by Americans in the 1980s, fell into a prolonged recession -- a development that led many economists to conclude that the more flexible, less planned, and more competitive American approach was, in fact, a better strategy for economic growth in the new, globally-integrated environment.

If a man wishes to be employed, he will be, provided the wage rate is adjusted according to what Rothbard calls his discounted marginal value product, i.e., the present height of the value which the consumers—at the time of the final sale of the product—will ascribe to his contribution to its production.
The full import of this state of affairs becomes manifest if one gives attention to the fact that, under present conditions, those offering their services on the labor market themselves represent the immense majority of the consumers whose buying or abstention from buying ultimately determines the height of wage rates.

 Interest Rates and the Business Cycle | The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
Money is primarily a medium of exchange in the economy; and as such, its quantity does not have anything to do with the real quantity of employment and output in the economy.
Of course, with more money in the economy, the prices of goods, services, and wages, will be higher; but the real quantities of the goods and services, and the real value of the wages will not necessarily change with an increase of money in the overall economy.
Anything in the economy that tends to lower the interest rate artificially will promote investments in projects that are not really profitable based upon the amount of capital being provided by savers who are the ones that forgo consumption because they deem it in their best interest to do so.

 Mathematical Economics Is More Compatible With Communism Than Capitalism by Eric Englund
To return to the concept of the evenly rotating economy, the error of the mathematical economists is to treat it as a real and even ideal state of affairs, whereas it is simply a mental concept enabling us to analyze the market and human activities on the market.
The evenly rotating state, for example, would be incompatible with the existence of money, the very medium at the center of the entire exchange structure.
In fact, it would seem that the communistic economy "Â…with a system of planned, nontransferable, in-kind assignments of inputs and outputs" would be a smashing success if humans were all-knowing.

The spirit of that book was revealed in a passage from the preface: "I have tried in this book to state the principles of economics in such form that they shall be comprehensible to an educated and intelligent person who has not before made any systematic study of the subject.
I have done my best to be clear, and to state with care the grounds on which my conclusions rest, as well as the conclusions themselves, but have made no vain pretense of simplifying all things."
It is the announced purpose of Murray Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State (two volumes running to a total of one thousand pages) to write in this spirit and "to fill part of the enormous gap of forty years' time." And he has succeeded.

 Joseph R. Stromberg: The Political Economy of Liberal Corporativism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the radical and libertarian analyses of this phenomenon, the American policy, seen by the Left as a "warfare State" and by the Right as a "creeping socialist welfare State," is shown to be a composite of both, resting on the foundation of an artificially cartellized economy.
While State support for economic expansionism is intertwined with domestic corporatism, we shall concentrate on the latter for the present.
Since the major means of freeing the economy from the grasp of entrenched interests (and attendant stagnation) is the repeal of regulation (i.e., depoliticizing political capitalism) we are brought face to face with the problem of political action.
