A wise and frugal government, which shall
restrain men from injuring one another, which
shall otherwise leave them free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry and improvement, and
shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread
it has earned. This is the sum of good
government.Thomas Jefferson, 1801

If I could save the Union without freeing any
slave I would do it, and if I could save it by

1862

perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it
comprises and develops the germ of every other.

The imposition of wage and price controls was
politically necessary and immensely popular in
the short run. But in the long run I believe
that it was wrong. The piper must always be
paid, and there was an unquestionably high price
for tampering with the orthodox economic
mechanisms.
