Government should be good for the liberty of the governed, and that is when it governs to the least possible degree. It should be good for the wealth of the nation, and that is when it acts as little as possible upon the labor that produces it and when it consumes as little as possible.

It is in losing their powers of action that governments improve. Each time that the governed gain space there is progress.
