Ȃȃȅ Partʺʺ: Politics and Philosophy
accords with human nature and with the sort of society in which people
have good chances for cooperating effectively as they pursue happiness in
their own specific ways. Ludwig von Mises and Henry Hazlitt, follow-

an indispensable means to people’s pursuit of their own diverse specific
goals that it deserves recognition practically as a goal in its own right.ȂȂ
Considerations like these merit respect again in appraisals of government
regulation.
