Slavery, Protection, And Monopoly Find Defenders, Not

The Profit Of The One Is The Profit Of The Other.

In Short, Is Not Liberty The Freedom Of Every Person To Make Full Use Of His Faculties, So Long As He Does Not Harm Other Persons While Doing So?

The Plans Differ; The Planners Are All Alike.

Thus, If There Exists A Law Which Sanctions Slavery Or Monopoly, Oppression Or Robbery, In Any Form Whatever, It Must Not Even Be Mentioned. For How Can It Be Mentioned Without Damaging The Respect Which It Inspires? Still Further, Morality And Political Economy Must Be Taught From The Point Of View Of This Law; From The Supposition That It Must Be A Just Law Merely Because It Is A Law. Another Effect Of This Tragic Perversion Of The Law Is That It Gives An Exaggerated Importance To Political Passions And Conflicts, And To Politics In General.

If Everyone Enjoyed The Unrestricted Use Of His Faculties And The Free Disposition Of The Fruits Of His Labor, Social Progress Would Be Ceaseless, Uninterrupted, And Unfailing.
