More From Hilaire Belloc
Coupled With Usury, Unrestricted Competition Destroys The Small Man For The Profit Of The Great And In So Doing Produces That Mass Of Economically Unfree Citizens Whose Very Political Freedom Comes In Question Because It Has No Foundation In Any Economic Freedom, That Is, Any Useful Proportion Of Property To Support It. Political Freedom Without Economic Freedom Is Almost Worthless, And It Is Because The Modern Proletariat Has The One Kind Of Freedom Without The Other That Its Rebellion Is Now Threatening The Very Structure Of The Modern World.

It Is A Meanness Which We Associate With Criminals And Vagabonds; A Piece Of Crawling And Sneaking...men Whose Race Is Universally Known, Will Unblushingly Adopt A False Name As A Mask, And After A Year Or Two Pretend To Treat It As An Insult If Their Original And True Name Be Used In Its Place.
