The task of the state consists solely and exclusively in guaranteeing the protection of life, health, liberty, and private property against violent attacks. Everything that goes beyond this is an evil. A government that, instead of fulfilling its task, sought to go so far as actually to infringe on personal security of life and health, freedom, and property would, of course, be altogether bad. Mises, Ludwig von (2010-12-10). Liberalism (LvMI) (p. 52). Ludwig von Mises Institute. Kindle Edition.
