| Ludwig von Mises | The ultimate source of the determination of prices is the value judgments of the consumers. | Human Action | p. 328; p. 331 | Price |
| Ludwig von Mises | Each individual, in buying or not buying and in selling or not selling, contributes his share to the formation of the market prices. But the larger the market is, the smaller is the weight of each individuals contribution. Thus the structure of market prices appears to the individual as a datum to which he must adjust his own conduct. | Human Action | p. 328; p. 331 | Price |
| Ludwig von Mises | It is ultimately always the subjective value judgments of individuals that determine the formation of prices. | Human Action | p. 329; p. 332 | Price |
| Ludwig von Mises | There is no such thing as prices outside the market. Prices cannot be constructed synthetically, as it were. | Human Action | p. 392; p. 395 | Price |
| Ludwig von Mises | The dangerous fact is that while government is hampered in endeavors to make a commodity cheaper by intervention, it certainly has the power to make it more expensive. | Omnipotent Government | p. 248 | Price |
| Ludwig von Mises | When people talk of a price level, they have in mind the image of a level of a liquid which goes up or down according to the increase or decrease in its quantity, but which, like a liquid in a tank, always rises evenly. But with prices, there is no such thing as a level. Prices do not change to the same extent at the same time. There are always prices that are changing more rapidly, rising or falling more rapidly than other prices. | Economic Policy | p. 59 | Price |
| Ludwig von Mises | Even capital punishment could not make price control work in the days of Emperor Diocletian and the French Revolution. | Defense, Control, and Inflation | pp. 109-10 | Price control |
| Ludwig von Mises | Economics does not say that isolated government interference with the prices of only one commodity or a few commodities is unfair, bad, or unfeasible. It says that such interference produces results contrary to its purpose, that it makes conditions worse, not better, from the point of view of the government and those backing its interference. | Human Action | p. 758; p. 764 | Price control |
| Ludwig von Mises | A government that sets out to abolish market prices is inevitably driven toward the abolition of private property; it has to recognize that there is no middle way between the system of private property in the means of production combined with free contract, and the system of common ownership of the means of production, or socialism. It is gradually forced toward compulsory production, universal obligation to labor, rationing of consumption, and, finally, official regulation of the whole of production and consumption. | The Theory of Money and Credit | p. 281 | Price control |
| Ludwig von Mises | During thousands of years, in all parts of the inhabited earth, innumerable sacrifices have been made to the chimera of just and reasonable prices. | The Theory of Money and Credit | p. 282 | Price control |
