THE AMERICAN SYSTEM – Shall We Destroy It?

Written during the turmoil of FDR’s New Deal experiment…understanding the corresponding conflict taking place between the Socialist philosophy of strongly centralized government and the American philosophy, with its emphasis on the freedom of the individual. The former believes through government power, political bureaucracy and State monopoly that it is better suited to lead and advise the citizen for the betterment of the masses as opposed to the interests and rights of the individual. The traditional American philosophy conceives that we best promote the interest of society as a whole by allowing each individual the greatest degree of freedom and placing on each the maximum degree of responsibility by giving them the opportunity of developing to the highest their own inherent qualities…restricting government meddling in the same.
