Democracy and the limits of economic regulation in America
A 1923 essay argues democracy grows from individualism and must balance regulation with initiative. It traces government power from minimal early interference to postwar expanded controls, warning against economic domination by firms while praising equal opportunity, education, and free speech. It calls for reform to preserve initiative, curb monopolies, and maintain progress toward a mobile, merit-based society.
