How to price political liberty out of the market

Modern science and technological “know-how” constitute a team, the extraordinary capacity of which was demonstrated in World War II. Will this team continue to be the servant of democracy, or may it become a Frankenstein capable of forcing the American people into political subservience? A well-known observer offers provocative criticism of the current scene and some of the current proposals. He points out that as a democratic state becomes more highly industrialized, the eternal vigilance which is its price of liberty must deploy itself over an ever-widening front to meet new encroachments if freedom is to be preserved. Can we continue to counter the threats of our industrialism? The author wishes to emphasize that these are his own personal views.
