Ludwig von Mises on Centralized States

“Every step toward more government interference and toward more planning means at the same time an expansion of the jurisdiction of the central government. . . .  It is a very significant fact that the adversaries of the trend toward more government control describe their opposition as a fight against Washington and against Berne [Switzerland], i.e., against centralization.  It is conceived as a contest of states’ rights versus the central power.”
