MODERN democracies are confronted with
a fundamental problem which may be
defined as follows : How to curtail the
freedom of the individual in economic
enterprise sufficiently to effect that
measure of equality of possessions and of
opportunity without which democracy is
no more than an empty form, and at the
same time to preserve that measure of
freedom of the individual in intellectual
and political life without which it cannot
exist? The problem may be otherwise
stated: Can the flagrant inequality of
possessions and of opportunity now
existing in democratic societies be
corrected by the democratic method? If it
cannot be corrected by the democratic
method, the resulting discontent and
confusion will be certain, sooner or later,
to issue in some form of revolutionary or
military dictatorship. This then is the
dilemma which confronts democratic
societies: to solve their economic problems
by the democratic method or to cease to be
democratic societies.
