The royalists of the economic order have conceded that political freedom was the business of the government, but they have maintained that economic slavery was nobody's business.

Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place.
