Abstract
Indeed, if he seriously indulges in such long-run speculation, he is apt to acquire the reputation of being “unsound” or even half a socialist, because he is unwilling to identify the existing order with the free system at which he aims. [Note] The most glaring recent account of such condemnation of a somewhat unorthodox liberal work as “socialist” has been provided by some comments on the late Henry Simons' Economic Policy for a Free Society (1948). One need not agree with the whole of this work, and one may even regard some of the suggestions made in it as incompatible with a free society, and yet recognize it as one of the most important contributions made in recent times to our problem and as just the kind of work which is required to get discussion started on the fundamental issues.
