Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' ...

Adam Smith\'s \'invisible hand\' is not above sudden, disturbing, movements. Since its inception, capitalism has known slumps and recessions, bubble and froth; no one has yet dis-invented the business cycle, and probably no one will; and what Schumpeter famously called the \'gales of creative destruction\' still roar mightily from time to time. To lament these things is ultimately to lament the bracing blast of freedom itself.

When others spoke of the fear of war, you spoke of the need for warriors and peace through strength. When others bewailed the failure of big government to provide for the collective good, you spoke of self-reliance, of personal responsibility, of individual pride and integrity. When others preached compromise - when others demanded compromise, you, Ronald Reagan, preached conviction.
