Perhaps The Fact That We Have Seen

One Need Not Be A Prophet To Be Aware Of Impending Dangers. An Accidental Combination Of Experience And Interest Will Often Reveal Events To One Man Under Aspects Which Few Yet See.

Perhaps The Fact That We Have Seen Millions Voting Themselves Into Complete Dependence On A Tyrant Has Made Our Generation Understand That To Choose One's Government Is Not Necessarily To Secure Freedom.

The Economic Freedom Which Is The Prerequisite Of Any Other Freedom Cannot Be The Freedom From Economic Care Which The Socialist Promise Us, And Which Can Be Obtained Only By Relieving The Individual At The Same Time Of The Necessity And Of The Power Of Choice: It Must Be The Freedom Of Economic Activity Which, With The Right Of Choice, Inevitably Also Carries The Risk And The Responsibility Of That Right

If The Resources Of Different Nations Are Treated As Exclusive Properties Of These Nations As Wholes, If International Economic Relations, Instead Of Being Relations Between Individuals, Become Increasingly Relations Between Whole Nations Organized As Trading Bodies, They Inevitably Become The Source Of Friction And Envy Between Whole Nations.

The Mind Cannot Foresee Its Own Advance.
