Human society is an issue of the mind. Social co-operation must first be conceived, then willed, then realized in action. It is ideas that make history, not the “material productive forces”, those nebulous and mystical schemata of the materialist conception of history. If we could overcome the idea of Socialism, if humanity could be brought to recognize the social necessity of private ownership of the means of production, then Socialism would have to leave the stage. That is the only thing that counts.
Mises
Logically the society that has the most profound and diverse knowledge will prosper and the one that is ruled by a closed clique of oligarchs is bound to stagnate and implode.
