Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse Quotes

• It is for the State to take care that the economic conditions are such that the normal man who is not defective in mind or body or will can be useful labor feed, house, and clothe himself and his family. The "right to work" and the "right to a living wage" are just as valid as the rights of person or property.

• The function of State coercion is to override individual coercion, and, of course, coercion exercised by any association of individuals within the State. It is by this means that it maintains liberty of expression, security of person and property, genuine freedom of contract, the rights of public meeting and association, and finally its own power to carry out common objects undefeated by the recalcitrance of individual members.

• El organizador de la industria que piensa que se ha "hecho" a sí mismo y a su negocio ha encontrado todo un sistema social listo para su mano en trabajadores cualificados, maquinaria, un mercado, paz y orden - un vasto aparato y una atmósfera penetrante, la creación conjunta de millones de hombres y decenas de generaciones. Si quitamos todo el factor social, no tenemos a Robinson Crusoe con su salvamento del naufragio y sus conocimientos adquiridos, sino al salvaje nativo que vive de raíces, bayas y alimañas.
