John Dewey: “To-day, so great and powerful is the sweep of the industrial current, the person of leisure is usually an idle person.”

There is therefore no necessary connection between the private character of an act and its non-social or anti-social character.

The easiest way out was to go back to the naked individual, to sweep away all associations as foreign to his nature and rights save as they proceeded from his own voluntary choice, and guaranteed his own private ends.

There are those who speak as if ability to choose between two tickets were a high exercise of individual freedom.

But this conclusion is an obvious invitation to trial of forces to see where superior force lies.
