Excerpt from Business: The Heart of the Nation
As a rule, in a parliamentary country, a new political party will owe its birth to some protest against established Privilege; for with Privilege man has waged almost incessant war since the day he emerged from the jungle. Now, the essence of Privilege is the opportunity to exploit somebody or something, which is all there is or ever was of absolutism, autocracy, imperialism, monarchy, satrapy, feudalism, orders of nobility, hereditary legislators, personal government, taxation without representation, and all the other forms of oppression against which the oppressed have revolted. The names of these things change with the years; so likewise change the forms. At heart they remain the same.
