But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.

Effondrement : Comment les sociétés décident de leur disparition ou de leur survie (2006)
Between 1929 and 1933, two out of every five american banks collapsed - 10763 out of 24970 banks went down (...) Only the banks of one European nation survived the Creditanstalt collapse intact. That nation was Italy led by a fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. He gave the impression that Italy's financial institutions stood strong and fearless in the storm. He worked the levers of emotion and perception, the keys to boom and crash (...) The result ? If you'd just pulled your savings out of a bank in a nation trembling with panic, such as Austria, Germany, England, or United States, to what nation would you send your money for safekeeping ? Italy.

Public opinion polls suggest that only a small minority (13 percent) of Americans favor the proposition that 'as the sole remaining superpower, the US should continue to be the preeminent world leader in solving international problems'. [...] As America becomes an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat. [...] More generally, cultural change in America may also be uncongenial to the sustained exercise abroad of genuinely imperial power. That exercise requires a high degree of doctrinal motivation, intellectual commitment, and patriotic gratification. [...] Mass communications have been playing a particularly important role in that regard, generating a strong revulsion against any selective use of force that entails even low levels of casualties [...] In brief, the U.S. Policy goals must be un-apologetically twofold: to perpetuate America's own dominant position for at least a generation and preferably longer
