From Here to There

The New Deal Loses its Magic

As this department may need to explain from time to time for the benefit of late comers, the “here” in its title refers to the rather thoroughly scrambled, “mixed,” or semi-socialistic economy that exists in the United States and elsewhere, while the “there” represents the hope for a return to individual and voluntarily cooperative ways of doing things. Writing on the subject from month to month, the author has surprised himself by finding his hopefulness steadily increasing. It seems to him that libertarians and conservatives are at last in position to strike some mighty blows in progressing toward “there.”
