Hans Hermann Hoppe - Intellectuals are extremely dangerous people

You need to understand that intellectuals are extremely dangerous people. Intellectuals have problems making money. Who is interested in receiving advice while listening to someone’s speech, reading books? Most people have very different interests. They watch TV, get drunk and go in search of girls, and the like. Or they come home tired after work. Demand for the intellectual services of writers, philosophers, economists is very small. So these people were taken under the wing of the state. They all became dependent on the state.

Milton Friedman on Intellectuals and Businessmen as the Biggest Enemies of Free Enterprise

How can we protect free enterprise? Will the intellectuals help us? How about the businessmen?  There is a dramatic difference between saying you are pro-business and saying you are pro-free enterprise or pro-capitalism. Do you want lots of competition for yourself or do you want special treatment while everyone else faces competition? Milton Friedman explains the difference.
