1). Individuals come first. Whoever says otherwise is trading in metaphors. There are societies, nations, families, teams but they are all made up of individual persons. Together persons create traditions, adhere to religions, make up communities, constitute the spirit of a time or place. Individuals inhabit traditions as they inhabit the societies and nations they constitute. They may be said to inhabit the language and culture to which they contribute and which contribute to their consciousness. But all these things- society, nations, families, teams, traditions, religions, languages, and culture- are the product of individual person.

2). Decreasing the size of the state is the way to a better future. Obstacles to private solution should be removed and the public sector be pulled down to a basic level. Instead of the state taking charge of everyone’ welfare and security, the public sector would concentrate on those who are unable to assume this responsibility for themselves. With the public as a basic supply, taxes will be lower and everyone will have a good deal more money left in their pockets. The great majority of citizens who are able to assume responsibility of their own lives can do so, financing the greater part of their own welfare and social security.

3). In a sustainable civilization, based on quality of life rather than unlimited individual accumulation of wealth, the very martial basis of modern progress would be a thing of the past. A steady- global economy is a radical proposition, not only because it challenge the conventional way we have come to use nature’s resources but also because it does away with the very idea of the history as an ever- rising curve of material advances. The objective of a sustainable globe economy is to continually reproduce a high- quality present state by aligning human production and consumption with nature’s ability to recycle waste and replenish resources. A sustainable, steady-state economy is truly the end of history define by unlimited material progress.
4). In a world where no one is compelled to work more than four hours a day, every person possessed of scientific curiosity will be able to indulge it, and every painter will be able to paint without starving, however excellent his pictures may be. Young writers will not be obliged to draw attention to themselves by sensational pot-boilers, with a view to acquiring the economic independence needed for monumental works, for which, when the time at least comes, they will have lost the taste and capacity. Men who, in their professional work, have become interested in some phase of economic or government, will be able to develop their ideas without the economic detachment that makes the work of university economists often seem lacking in reality. Medical men will have the time to learn about the progress of medicine, teachers will not be exasperatedly struggling to teach by routine methods things which they learnt in their youth, which may, in the interval, have been proved to be untrue. Above all, there will be happiness and joy of life, instead of frayed nerves, weariness, and dyspepsia.
