Laissez Faire (in Its Full True Meaning)

At The Beginning Of This Marvelous Era It Was Natural To Expect, And It Was Expected, That Laborsaving Inventions Would Lighten The Toil And Improve The Condition Of The Laborer; That The Enormous Increase In The Power Of Producing Wealth Would Make Real Poverty A Thing Of The Past... From Progress And Poverty, To Those Who, Seeing The Vice And Misery That Spring From The Unequal Distribution Of Wealth And Privilege, Feel The Possibility Of A Higher Social State And Would Strive For Its Attainment.
