- 3104: Adolf Hitler
- ... fascism (Nazism). Making anti-Semitism a keystone of his propaganda and policies, he built up the Nazi party into a mass movement.

Also in a competitive free market earning a living acts as an incentive to clergy to work harder and try ... churches would therefore allow high costs. Bruce highlights some weaknesses of this theory. He states that the early Christian church had very high startup costs eg persecution and this did not prevent the recruitment of new followers.

- ... many charges brought against Socrates was the charge of corrupting the youth with his teachings. Instead of letting the laws govern their lives, he was attempting to show his pupils ways of rationalizing their own world.
