There was endless controversy as to whether the acts of the New Deal did actually move recovery or retard it, and nothing final could ever come of that bitter debate because it is forever impossible to prove what might have happened in place of what did.

This is the problem for which revolutionary theory has yet to find the right solution, if there is one. The difficulty is that the economic interests of the two classes are antagonistic.

If people cannot limit government they will not for long be free.

If you put a ten dollar bill under the rug instead of spending it, that is capital formation. It represents ten dollars' worth of something that might have been immediately consumed, but wasn't.

The New Deal was going to redistribute the national income according to ideals of social and economic justice.

Well, where there is freedom doubt itself must be free.

There is in government a living impulse to extend itself indefinitely; and there is in freedom a necessity to resist that impulse.
