Socialisms Flow Chart: Revolution and Despotism

SEPTEMBER 01, 1964 by JOHN G. BILLS JR.

Mr. Bills is a stockbroker with Hornblower & Weeks in Los Angeles.

From the cornucopia of the welfare state to the whirlwind of revolution and despotism.

Though 1964 has shown good profits for many American com­panies, it is important in these fat months to understand that the prospect of profits inspires produc­tive employment of human and other resources; dwindling prof­its mean unemployment and eco­nomic stagnation.

The welfare state operates as a vice and a vise — that can squeeze profits. The threat of such a squeeze can be overcome only through personal understanding and practice of the virtues of freedom — personal rejection of the underlying vices of welfarism.

Cities are vast, complex orders that emerge from the voluntary actions of millions of people. In this issue, we take a look at them, from Sandy Ikeda's examination of the invisible blueprints that define cities, to Rod Lockwood's concept of a free city that could rescue Detroit, to Troy Camplin's theories of why cities exemplify the unity of paradox that defines beauty. Speaking of beauty, we reintroduce poetry to The Freeman. We also introduce The Arena, a monthly debate feature, and much, much more.Download Free PDF
