Simply put, it is to demonstrate our ability, and our willingness, to measure up to the test provided by each of these provisos. This we are determined, and dedicated, to do. If we demonstrate as much integrity in organizing support for freedom as its opponents have demonstrated in attacking it, then no question but that we shall win the battle. And let us never forget that no man's future is safe in the hands of a political philosophy that is willing to buy today's popularity with tomorrow's agony.
Economic freedom is the foundation of political freedom.
The two are inseparable. All this under circumstances in which competition prevails. When a man's property rights are protected, he is able to retain and enjoy in peace the fruits of his labor. This security is his main incentive, if not his only incentive, to labor creatively. If anyone were free to confiscate what the farmer had sown, fertilized, cultivated and raised, he would no longer have any incentive to sow or to reap.
