Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that the free enterprise system is the most efficient economic system. Maximum freedom means maximum
productiveness our openness" is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination with this ideal has made Americans defy the "Old World" categories of settled possessiveness versus unsettling
deprivation the cupidity of retention versus the cupidity of seizure a status quo defended or attacked. The United States. it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only station was the turning
of a stationary wheel. Spinning faster and faster. We did not base our system on property but opportunity which meant we based it not on stability but on mobility. The more things changed that is
the more rapidly the wheel turned the steadier we would be. The conventional picture of class politics is composed of the Haves, who want a stability to keep what they have and the Have Nots, who
want a touch of instability and change in which to scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which speculators, self-makers, runners are always using the new
opportunities given by our land. These economic leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents of change. The nonstarters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to
give them some position in the race a regulative hand to calm manic speculation an authority that can call things to a halt begin things again from compensatorily staggered starting lines
"Reform in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, a piece of the action as it were for
the disenfranchised. There is no attempt to call off the race. Since our only stability is change. America seems not to honor the quiet work that achieves social interdependence and stability. There is
in our legends no heroism of the office clerk, no stable industrial work force of the people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee (Wilson asked for a return to
the time when everyone was an employer). There has been no boasting about our social workers--they are merely signs of the system's failure of opportunity denied or not taken, of things to be
eliminated. We have no pride in our growing interdependence in the fact that our system can serve others that we are able to help those in need, empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of
our present achievements, make us try to forget or deny them move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderland race we must all run all trying to win none winning in the end for
there is no end
The primary purpose of the passage is to
champion those Americans whom the author deems to be neglected
challenge the integrity of traditional political leaders
contrast "Old World" and "New World economic ideologies
criticize the inflexibility of American economic mythology
