The unavoidable consequence of growth of government is loss of liberty. The cause of our departure from limited government is a generalized contempt for principles of rule of law, voluntary exchange, and private property rights. The genesis of this contempt is people's concern for results which they believe are desirable, such as equality of income, racial justice, energy conservation, and environmental protection. In the process of pursuing such results, they ignore process, rule o f law, voluntary exchange, and private property rights.
