“The characteristic feature of a free society is that it can function in spite of the fact that its members disagree in many judgments of value.” #QotD


“The characteristic feature of a free society is that it can function in spite of the fact that its members disagree in many judgments of value.” 
    “The meaning of economic freedom is this: that the individual is in a position to choose the way in which he wants to integrate himself into the totality of society. The individual is able to choose his career, he is free to do what he wants to do.” 
          ~ Ludwig von Mises, from Theory & History,
             and 'Thoughts for Today & Tomorrow'
             [quoted in the post 'How can China thrive without freedom?']]
