Trade works insidiously: Industrial capitalism requires mass markets. Mass markets require consumer sovereignty. A consumer allowed to choose among six brands of toothpaste eventually finds freedom of choice natural, and then it becomes natural to spit out tyrants in a new revolution, perhaps even to ignore them on such a grand scale that another revolution becomes unnecessary.

Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth- the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started. If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him; if not, it destroys him. But you look on and you cry that money corrupted him. Did it? Or did he corrupt his money?
