"Popular
capitalism is on the march ... Of course, there will always
be people who, in the name of morality, sneer at this and call
it 'materialism'. But isn't it moral that people should want
to improve the material standard of living of their families,
by their own effort? Isn't it moral that families should work
for the means to look after their old folk? Isn't it moral that
people should save, so as to be responsible for themselves?
... And it is for Government to work with that grain in human
nature to strengthen the strand of responsibility and independence:
it benefits the family; it benefits the children; it is the
essence of freedom."
