Law of Supply and Demand Quotes
This is a very interesting quotation in that right wing parties are usually opposed to any kind of Government ownership and control of business and industry. However, Fascist parties have usually wanted to commandeer business and industry for the central purposes of the dictatorial state.

We will pay whatever we have to. Existential issues do not lend themselves to economics.
