Economics Quote by L. Ron Hubbard
““One of the primary barriers in this society to total freedom is economics. Suppressives have been weaving a web of economic entanglement for societies for some time using economic misinterpretations or ignorance to involve those societies which only recently struck off their chains of actual slavery. Today the chains are made of economic restrictions and, to be blunt, economic lies. An understanding of economics is a bold step forward toward total freedom in a society. Aberrations tend to blow when their lies are exposed.””
