Conservatives don't actually understand America's economic history. They have this idealized vision of a land that never was. {America has been adduced by economic liberals [note: he's referring to classical liberals who believe in laissez-faire] as conclusive proof of the ability of a market economy to function. For a century, labor, land, and money were traded in the States with complete freedom, yet allegedly no measures of social protection were needed, and apart from customs tariffs, industrial life continued unhampered by government interference. The explanation, of course, was simply free labor, land, and money. Up to the 1890's the frontier was open and free land lasted; up to the Great War the supply of low standard labor flowed freely; up to the turn of the century there was no commitment to keep foreign exchange stable. A free supply of land, labor and money continued to be available; consequently no self-regulating market system was in existence*. As long as these conditions prevailed, neither man, nor nature, nor business organization needed protection of the kind that only intervention can provide. As soon as these conditions ceased to exist, social protection set in..the United States caught up with a century of European development: protection of the soil and its cultivators, social security for labor through unionism and legislation, and central banking- all on the largest scale- made their appearance.} - Karl Polanyi, 'The Great Transformation', pps 210-211 * free zero to low cost; market mechanisms are only needed to allocate limited resources.
