Abstract

The triumph of the crisis makers poses a threat not only to material progress but also to personal liberty. These two staples of modern society are inextricably bound together. As the dominant dynamic strategy unfolds they advance together, and as it stagnates they retreat together. The growing pluralisation of modern society, as we have seen, leads us to forget the importance of longrun dynamics and the essential role of strategic leadership. And through our forgetfulness we unintentionally prepare the way for an end to progress and liberty. For who can remind us when our so-called experts – the orthodox economists – have failed to understand these things?
