Frederich von Hayek

This quote was added by ibcnunabit
The power which a multiple millionaire, who may be my neighbor and perhaps my employer, has over me is very much less than that which the smallest "functionaire" possesses who wields the coercive power of the state, and on whose desecration it depends whether and how I am allowed to live or to work.

A few errors in the quote (such as "desecration" instead of "discretion"); maybe someone who isn't a native English speaker submitted it?
