Property...Freedom...Peace: Music: Doris Day

About This Blog

Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) was the greatest economist of my time. His greatest works can be accessed here at no charge.

Mises believed that property, freedom and peace are and should be the hallmarks of a satisfying and prosperous society. I agree. Mises proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the prospect for general and individual prosperity is maximized, indeed, is only possible, if the principle of private property reigns supreme. What's yours is yours. What's mine is mine. When the line between yours and mine is smudged, the door to conflict opens. Without freedom (individual liberty of action) the principle of private property is neutered and the free market, which is the child of property and freedom and the mother of prosperity and satisfaction, cannot exist. Peace is the goal of a prosperous and satisfying society of free individuals, not peace which is purchased by submission to the enemies of property and freedom, but peace which results from the unyielding defense of these principles against all who challenge them.

In this blog I measure American society against the metrics of property, freedom and peace.

Doris Day (Back By Popular Demand)

I'm Confessin' That I love You 1929 (Music and Lyrics credited variously to Chris Smith, Sterling Grant, Al Neiburg, Doc Daugherty, and Ellis Reynolds. Go figure.

One cannot help watching this video and imagining Doris singing this beautiful tune into your ear. Then again, I truly believe I used to be a World War II fighter pilot flying the mighty Corsair with Pappy Boyington in the Solomons. But now I bet I've said too much.

Doris Day

I'm In The Mood For Love

Music: Jimmy McHugh; Lyrics: Dorothy Fields 1935

I don't know when Doris recorded this. I don't care. She's my favorite of all time.
