Quote by Friedrich List
It is bad policy to regulate everything... where things may better

It is bad policy to regulate everything… where things may better regulate themselves and can be better promoted by private exertions but it is no less bad policy to let those things alone which can only be promoted by interfering social power. – Friedrich List
