“Si on pose une fois de plus la question : « est-ce qu'un investissement réalisé pour produire des colifichets, pour lesquels il faudra faire de la publicité, serait une plus grande contribution au bien-être humain qu'un investissement améliorant le service de santé? », il me semble que la réponse saute aux yeux; la meilleure réponse que l'idéologie du laisser-faire puisse offrir est de ne pas poser la question.”

Yet he, at the same time, is more encouraging than they, for he releases hope as well as terror from Pandora's box, while they preach only the gloomy doctrine that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.”
