Excerpt from City Planning Housing, Vol. 2: Political Economy and Civic Art Our fathers and forefathers believed implicitly in liberty as the unfailing boon and saviour in every emergency: in economic liberty which means free competition; in political liberty which means democracy, both of which, however, are helpless without some form of national planning - a basic conception of the American Constitution. It was this faith that gave our fathers inspiration and strength for mighty achievements. They marched forwards and upwards in almost every field of science, of economics, of culture. Today this faith is considered to be mere delusion. Yet with its disappearance there vanished both strength and prosperity and we stand today aghast, confronted with the possible downfall of our civilization, faced with the prospect of falling back into poverty, servitude and barbarism.
