“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (18981979)
“Here may we prove the powr of prayr,
To strengthen faith, and sweeten care;
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heavn before our eyes.”
—William Cowper (17311800)
