"Original sin". The doctrine of original sin steels the mind against the utopian illusion, that "the evils and inconstancies of the human heart are superable" or caused by "evil structures."(p349) Every political economy has a theory of sin, something it is against. Democratic capitalism is "designed against tyranny." As such, it does not repress human vice, to the shock of outsiders like Alexander Solzhenitsyn. "Socialist societies repress sin much more effectively. They begin by repressing economic activities. A free society can tolerate vice because it believes in "the basic decency of human beings... Under an appropriate set of checks and balances, the vast majority of human beings will respond to daily challenges with decency, generosity, common sense, and even, on occasion, moral heroism."(p351)
