In a market economy, however, the individual has some possibility of escaping from the power of the state.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Markets can do many wonderful things, which is why I'm glad to live in a capitalist country.
One cannot have economic growth without security.
There's no statistical evidence that human beings have an ability to move in and out of the markets effectively. It's next to impossible.
The economy is not an abstraction. The economy consists of people, and it will only grow if people feel secure and are reasonably free.
The economy is designed to serve the individual.
When everything is going well, the role of the state in the economy should be limited. When we are in a crisis, it's different.
When faced with economic uncertainty, people don't want freedom. When they can't see their economic future, they want the nanny state.
An economy genuinely local and neighborly offers to localities a measure of security that they cannot derive from a national or a global economy controlled by people who, by principle, have no local commitment.
Markets are frequently ahead of, and often out of sync with, the economy.
People - running from unhappiness, hiding in power - are locked within their reputations, ambitions, beliefs.
